1	Life for Rent (2003) more music like this by Dido Life for Rent doesn't offer anything that drastically different from Dido's debut album, No Angel -- the dance beats are marginally fresher, the production is clean and new -- but this predictibility is actually rather refreshing because the album delivers on its promise, unlike many sophomore affairs in 2003. That its promise is rather modest ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $10.52!
2	The Very Best of the Drifters [Rhino] (1993) more music like this by The Drifters This mid-priced 16-song collection is the successor to the old Atlantic Records Drifters Golden Hits, covering the group's very best songs from "There Goes My Baby" in 1959 on up through 1964 in a more comprehensive way. Very pleasingly remastered and handy on its own terms, The Very Best of the Drifters also provides just a taste of what the post ... see all copies from $3.11! new only from $3.11!
3	The Best of George Shearing (1955-1960) (1995) more music like this by George Shearing see all copies from $6.24! new only from $13.88!
4	We'll Meet Again: The Love Songs of World War II (1994) more music like this by Various Artists A two-disc set of American popular music from 1941 to 1945, We'll Meet Again compiles many of the era's biggest love songs, all informed by the war experience. Performers include Bing Crosby, the Mills Brothers, Benny Goodman and the Ink Spots. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $25.00! new only from $49.95!
5	Under the Boardwalk & Other Hits [Rhino] (1997) more music like this by The Drifters Under the Boardwalk & Other Hits highlights several of the Drifters' classic singles released in the '60s, including "On Broadway," "Up on the Roof," "Saturday Night at the Movies," and "Under the Boardwalk." Please note that this edition includes the same track listing as the 1993 Rhino release Up on the Roof, On Broadway & Under the Boardwalk. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.39!
6	The String Quartet Tribute to Dido (2004) more music like this by Various Artists This collection of string tributes to Dido fleshes out the normal quartet lineup of viola, cello, and two violins with occasional flourishes of guitar, woodwind, and contrabass. This means "White Flag"'s chorus melody is handled by flutes, while "I'm No Angel" is much more dynamic than it might have been, with rhythmic layers of guitar and bassoon ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $3.00!
7	Latin Lace/Latin Affair (1999) more music like this by George Shearing In 1999, EMI released Latin Lace/Latin Affair, which contained two complete albums -- Latin Lace (1958, originally released on Capitol) and Latin Affair (1959, originally released on Capitol) -- by George Shearing on one compact disc. Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.34! new only from $9.34!
8	Beach Music Sound: Sand In My Shoes: 25 More Classic Hits (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Late-period R&B and vintage 1960s soul never really faded into nostalgia in the coastal towns of the Carolinas, and in time the music and the regional bands that continued to play it generated what became known as "beach music" in the region. Beach music isn't a terribly precise term, however, and much like Louisiana's swamp pop style, it ends up ... see all copies from $11.82! new only from $13.76!
9	All-Time Greatest Hits & More: 1959-1965 (1988) more music like this by The Drifters If Rhino's Very Best of the Drifters is a fine R&B snack, then All-Time Greatest Hits & More: 1959-1965 is a three-course gourmet meal with dessert built on the same ingredients. Forget about the higher price and the fact that 40 songs might seem to be more Drifters than most casual listeners would want -- All-Time Greatest Hits & More: 1959-1965 ... see all copies from $12.99! new only from $21.44!
10	Heart & Soul (1932) more music like this by Connee Boswell This British compilation is subtitled "25 Hits 1932-42," and which is not exactly true, since it features only a handful of Connee Boswell's popular recordings from the period (notably, the Bing Crosby duets "Basin Street Blues" and "Bob White," "I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart," "On the Isle of May," and "Sand in My Shoes"). Annotator Peter ... see all copies from $10.83! new only from $10.83!
11 view cover	I'll Take You Where the Music's Playing (1965) more music like this by The Drifters Although initially touted as the triumphant return of the Drifters, 1965's I'll Take You Where the Music's Playing ended up as a bittersweet farewell to the combo's final incarnation during the 1960s. The personnel included Johnny Moore (lead vocals), Charles Thomas (tenor and lead vocals), Eugene Pearson (baritone vocals), John Terry (bass vocals ... see all copies from $9.77! new only from $9.77!
12 view cover	Charmed: The Book of Shadows (2005) more music like this by Original Television Soundtrack While it isn't much more tied into the action on the show than the first Charmed soundtrack was, Charmed: The Book of Shadows streamlines its approach, focusing on female artists both loud and gentle rather than the willy-nilly, grab-bag feel that Charmed too often had. Though the soundtrack boasts more than a few well-known names, like Sarah ... see all copies from $10.69! new only from $10.69!
13 view cover	Drifters' Golden Hits (1968) more music like this by The Drifters A middling collection of later hits. Superficial, but okay as far as it goes (which isn't very far). Bruce Eder, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.49! new only from $11.85!
14 view cover	50 by Bobby Short (1986) more music like this by Bobby Short For a middle of the road nightclub entertainer during the rock era, Bobby Short was very well documented on record. This was due to his long on-and-off association with Atlantic Records. The New York-based label led by the Turkish brothers Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegun and Jerry Wexler made its money on R&B music initially and rock eventually, but the ... see all copies from $25.00!
15 view cover	Art Deco: Sophisticated Ladies (1929) more music like this by Various Artists This is a very rewarding two-CD sampler that introduces listeners to a wide variety of singers who were active in the 1930s, ranging from jazz vocalists (Annette Hanshaw, Ethel Waters, Connie Boswell, the Boswell Sisters, Lee Wiley, Helen Ward, Ella Logan, Maxine Sullivan and Mildred Bailey) to cabaret and pop artists of the time (Ruth Etting, ... see all copies from $75.45! new only from $75.45!
16 view cover	No Frills (1984) more music like this by The Persuasions The Persuasions celebrated their 20th anniversary with this 1986 set blending classics and more contemporary material. They covered vintage songs from The Drifters and Clyde McPhatter, included a lengthy, more modern/dance tune in Candi Station's "Victim" and added a holiday number with "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve." They brought back former ... see all copies from $6.66! new only from $13.39!
17 view cover	Jason Eklund (1993) more music like this by Jason Eklund The photo that Flying Fish uses on the front cover of Jason Eklund's debut album is in sepia; it looks like it could have been taken during the Great Depression. But Eklund wasn't even alive in the '30s; he wasn't born until 1970, and this CD didn't come out until 1993. However, the cover's retro look is appropriate because Eklund is a very ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $13.39!
18 view cover	The Definitive Soul Collection (2006) more music like this by The Drifters The Drifters have one of the most convoluted histories of any major R&B or soul group ever to top the charts -- you can sort of tell that by the fact that the 1960 Drifters' Greatest Hits album, released seven years into their 15-year history with Atlantic Records, contains songs that, with two possible exceptions (and one of those in a version by ... see all copies from $9.75! new only from $9.75!
19 view cover	The Girl I Left Home For (1956) more music like this by Gwen Verdon Broadway star Gwen Verdon didn't make too much of a dent in the jazz-pop market, but this fine album from the late '50s makes one wish she had. Cut after she had established herself in productions of Can-Can and Damn Yankees, The Girl I Left Home For finds Verdon reveling in fine selection of rarely heard Tin Pan Alley songs -- in a jazz context ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $14.22!
20 view cover	Bobby Short (1957) more music like this by Bobby Short Bobby Short's second recording for Atlantic offered a range of great material, accompanied on the up-tempo numbers by a small, dynamic quartet and, for the ballads, just his own piano (as on the highlight "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World"). Short drew on his two decades in vaudeville, pulling out all the stops for bravura versions of "I've ... see all copies from $7.55!
21 view cover	Where the Fast Lane Ends (1990) more music like this by Fred Koller Koller's versions of his songs "Goin' Gone" and "Lone Star State of Mind" are here, but he has a deep, bluesy voice that puts a very different spin on these familiar tunes. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.98!
22 view cover	Sweet and Low Down (2003) more music like this by Nancy Nelson see all copies from $10.53! new only from $10.53!
23 view cover	This Magic Moment [Brentwood] (2005) more music like this by The Drifters The immortal Drifters provided the prototype for R&B vocal groups and set the stage for the onset of soul with over ten years of marvelous singles beginning in 1953. Blessed with a succession of great lead singers, starting with the angelic tenor of Clyde McPhatter through Ben E. King and the Rudy Lewis/Johnny Moore tandem of the later years, the ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $4.23!
24 view cover	Thrivemix, Vol. 1: Mixed by Mike Rizzo and St. John (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.98! new only from $17.22!
25 view cover	Workout Music Collection [MP3] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $12.04! new only from $32.58!
