Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2

Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1971) more music like this

by Bob Dylan

Where Dylan's first Greatest Hits took its title literally, Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 is a greatest-hits album only in the loosest sense of the term. While the double album does contain several genuine hits -- "Lay Lady Lay," "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You," the non-LP "Watching the River Flow" -- it is largely comprised of album tracks which ...

Every Picture Tells a Story

Every Picture Tells a Story (1971) more music like this

by Rod Stewart

Without greatly altering his approach, Rod Stewart perfected his blend of hard rock, folk, and blues on his masterpiece, Every Picture Tells a Story. Marginally a harder-rocking album than Gasoline Alley -- the Faces blister on the Temptations cover "(I Know I'm) Losing You," and the acoustic title track goes into hyper-drive with Mick Waller's ...

Odetta Sings Dylan

Odetta Sings Dylan (1965) more music like this

by Odetta

From 1965, Odetta Sings Dylan was one of the first albums entirely devoted to Bob Dylan interpretations, and one of the best. In part that's because the concept was still actually fresh then; in fact, other than an obscure 1964 album by Linda Mason, it was the very first album of Dylan covers. And in part it was because, unlike most of the artists ...

Greatest Hits! (1987) more music like this

by Ian & Sylvia

This compilation (CVSD 5/6) captures much of their best work. Do not confuse it with the identically titled Vanguard album 73114, which includes only half the material found on this set. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Recollections: The Best of Judy Collins

Fifth Album

Fifth Album (1965) more music like this

by Judy Collins

Judy Collins' last straight, folk-based album of the 1960s, 5th Album marks her transition from a "maid of constant sorrow" to a bona fide artist. With its covers ranging from Lennon and McCartney to adaptations from The Threepenny Opera, 1966's In My Life would readily attest to this. But 5th Album, cut in late 1964, may very well be her ...

Artist of the Century

Artist of the Century (1999) more music like this

by Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley doesn't really need more compilations -- either single discs or box sets -- in his catalog, but RCA's 1999 triple-disc set Artist of the Century does wind up filling a need, of sorts. Over the course of 75 tracks, nearly all of Elvis' most popular songs are presented in their original hit versions. Given the number of hits he had, ...

Why Should the Fire Die? (2005) more music like this

by Nickel Creek

Few aspiring bluegrass artists have tackled the genre as unpredictably as Nickel Creek. For their third offering, the precocious trio have ditched longtime producer Alison Krauss in favor of Tony Berg and Eric Valentine (Smash Mouth, Queens of the Stone Age, Good Charlotte), and quietly crafted one of the most explosive acoustic records of the ...

Sing of Our Times/The Honey Wind Blows (2004) more music like this

This CD contains a pair of pivotal long-players from the Brothers Four. By 1964 Bob Flick (upright bass, baritone, bass), John Paine (guitar, baritone), Mike Kirkland (guitar, banjo, tenor), and Dick Foley (guitar, baritone) were members of one of the most successful folk vocal groups of the era and had likewise begun to established themselves ...

For many years after his death, unreleased home tapes that Nick Drake made shortly before beginning his official recording career have been bootlegged among collectors. The 28 songs on Family Tree add up to an extensive (though not quite complete, missing some minor covers like "Get Together," "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright," and "Summertime") ...

Nick, Bob & John: The Final Concert (2007) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

Founded in 1957, the Kingston Trio brought an accessible and commercial face to the emerging folk revival, and while the group was frequently criticized for their complete lack of authenticity in the face of real traditional music, there is no denying that without their frequent presence on the pop charts into the early '60s, the folk revival ...

Gold (2005) more music like this

by Rod Stewart

Mercury/Chronicles' 2005 double-disc set Gold expands and rejiggers the previous best Rod Stewart double-disc set, 1992's Mercury Anthology. This 35-track compilation contains all but five of the songs from that 32-track comp -- the live cuts with the Faces have been cut out -- in nearly the same sequencing. So, anybody who already has that set, ...

Four Strong Winds (1964) more music like this

by Ian & Sylvia

Ian & Sylvia hit their stride on their second LP, which features the first in a line of talented second guitarists (John Herald) they would use to augment their original guitar-autoharp-basslineup. The album featured an assortment of largely traditional material that was unsurpassed in its time, encompassing bluegrass, spirituals, gospel, ...

Greatest Hits, Vol. 1-3 (2003) more music like this

by Bob Dylan

All three volumes of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits come packaged here in a slipcase box. Nothing new is added, nothing taken away. Alas, though, like the CDs themselves, this is a (specially priced) four-disc box set, since Dylan's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 was originally issued as a double LP and followed suit on compact disc. For those who have ...

The Complete Vanguard Studio Recordings (2001) more music like this

by Ian & Sylvia

It's good to have this four-CD box set of everything Ian & Sylvia did in the studio for Vanguard, as their valuable contributions to folk and folk-rock are (several decades later, anyway) underrated. There are a few things that could have been added to the package to make it more definitive, though. The set includes all of their first six albums, ...

Scenechronized (2007) more music like this

by The Seldom Scene

In a way, it seems to make little sense to call the Seldom Scene "the Seldom Scene," because only one member -- banjoist Ben Eldridge -- is an original member; furthermore, while the band has retained certain characteristics over the last 30 years (the Dobro, for instance), there is no resemblance to the Starling/Duffey-led band of the '70s. ...

The Ballad Album (1998) more music like this

by Rod Stewart

Mercury/Polygram began recycling their Rod Stewart recordings almost immediately after he left the label for Warner. Rebound's The Ballad Album and its companion, The Rock Album, are simply '90s versions of such compilations as Sing It Again Rod. And, like that record, it's enjoyable despite its haphazard collection simply because Stewart's ...

Sandy [Germany Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this

by Sandy Denny

Sandy Denny's second post-Fairport solo offering, produced by then-future husband Trevor Lucas, is a beautiful blend of the traditional style with which she is most often associated and a slightly more lavish sound that would become more prevalent in her later work. Lucas does an excellent job of balancing the two and creates an exquisite backdrop ...

A Nod to Bob: An Artists' Tribute to Bob Dylan on His 60th Birthday (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

You might not expect much from a Dylan tribute album limited to the artists of one small label, but if so, you're in for a surprise: This CD turns out to be every bit as inspired as anything on the all-star Madison Square Garden tribute that marked Dylan's 30th year in the music business. One reason is that the artists on the Red House label ...

Love Me Tender (2005) more music like this

by Barb Jungr

Another exquisite, at times astonishing, album from Miss Jungr. Unlike Bob Dylan, whose songbook the singer had so expressively reimagined on Every Grain of Sand, Elvis Presley was never himself a composer, depending instead entirely on professional publishers for his material, much of it originally chosen for its commercial prospects; however, ...

Founded in 1950 by brothers Seymour Solomon and Maynard Solomon just as the LP format was taking hold (it had been introduced to the market two years previously), Vanguard Records took full advantage of the longer playing time afforded and began life as a classical label, moving easily into jazz, then gospel, bluegrass, blues, and folk (as Joan ...

Catch the Wind (1970) more music like this

by We Five

The latter-day incarnation of We Five covers a bunch of late-'60s folk-style ("Early Morning Rain," "Here Comes the Sun," etc.) numbers on Catch the Wind. Mike Stewart and company were trying, and the arrangements were pleasing, but the music was prettier than people wanted. Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
