Buy Now	Creedence Clearwater Revival (more) »rank: 411 by: Creedence Clearwater Revival : :Popular but not hip, basic but not shallow, rooted but not retro, Creedence Clearwater Revival distinguished themselves in the late 1960s and early 1970s through these contradictions. This six-disc set is the definitive Creedence collection, offering superbly remastered versions of all of their studio and live albums and adding a disc's worth of pre-Creedence material. The ultimate blue-collar rock band, John Fogerty and CCR found success by wholly giving in to their fascination with the American South (despite hailing from Northern California) and exploring the turf that connected R&B and country--the same turf that their heroes at Sun studios tilled at rock's birth. ...
Buy Now	Christmas Island (more) »rank: 442 by: Jimmy Buffett : :It never snows in the Florida Keys, but as every Parrothead knows, Jimmy Buffett was born on Christmas Day 1946. His Caribbean folk tunes have always had a festive air to them, and his Coral Reefer Band tackle these holiday songs in their usual laidback style. Buffett turns out both traditional carols ('Jingle Bells' with a few tropical ad-libs) and his own myth-building originals ('A Sailor's Christmas,' 'Merry Christmas, Alabama'). This may not be the traditional Christmas fare of chestnuts roasting on an open fire, but for those who enjoy ocean breezes and 'wasting away' to this most successful beach bum, Christmas Island ...	Buy Now	The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (more) »rank: 677 by: Bob Dylan : :Dylan's outstanding second album is a tremendous jump from its predecessor. Whereas the debut established him as a peerless interpreter of folk and country-blues classics, and a singer like none before, this followup features some of the most pungent original songs of the '60s. 'Blowin' in the Wind,' 'Masters of War,' 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall,' 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right,' 'I Shall Be Free': if this sounds like the lineup for a greatest-hits collection, you've got the idea. Nat Hentoff's liner notes are charmingly dated, but Dylan's idiosyncratic singing, unexpected lyrics, and inimitable guitar and harmonica playing are as immediate and ...

Buy Now	Live at Blues Alley (more) »rank: 1498 by: Eva Cassidy :Album Description:Recorded live at Blues Alley, Washington, D.C., Jan. 2, 1996, where the late folk singer/songwriter had a loyal following. 13 tracks, including four that appeared on her breakthrough 1998 album, 'Songbird'. Blix Street. :When Eva Cassidy is swinging her way through 'Cheek to Cheek' and getting down and bluesy on 'Stormy Monday' on this live set from 1996, it's nigh impossible not to get swept up in her voice's vast, barreling force. Her full range, though, becomes most obvious--and soul-shaking--on the slower side, as with Paul Simon's 'Bridge over Troubled Water,' Buffy Sainte-Marie's 'Tall Trees in Georgia,' and 'What a Wonderful World.' ...

Buy Now	Meet Me In Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection (more) »rank: 1132 by: Jimmy Buffett : :Jimmy Buffett may have made his millions, but that doesn't mean that he has eased up on his workload. After releasing 33 albums, mounting grueling annual tours, and fashioning an entire industry and lifestyle out of his signature song 'Margaritaville,' Buffett trots out this two-CD collection. Yet, Meet Me in Magaritaville, which spans 30 years, isn't merely a retread of his long, storied career. Buffett has written two new songs for the package and re-recorded six alternative versions of fan favorites (including a moving version of 'The Captain and the Kid,' which he included for his ailing father, who died shortly after the ...
Buy Now	Songs You Know by Heart : Jimmy Buffett's Greatest Hit(s) (more) »rank: 1629 by: Jimmy Buffett : essential recording:Critics have always been singularly unkind to Jimmy Buffett. Or at least they have since the singer became immune to their jabs, commanding a nation of Parrotheads who sell out his shows, snap up his records and books, and eat and drink in his nightclubs in Key West and New Orleans. By now, you've made up your mind as well: To paraphrase Buffett himself from his song 'Volcano,' you either lava him now, or you lava him not. Songs You Know by Heart is a friendly little best-of collection that features concert perennials such as 'Margaritaville,' 'Fins,' 'Cheeseburger in Paradise,' and ...	Buy Now	Tracy Chapman (more) »rank: 1339 by: Tracy Chapman : :One of the most striking debut albums ever released, this disc instantly established Chapman as a musical force, and with good reason. Immediacy, integrity of purpose, and unqualified artistry are apparent in nearly every song. And while 'Fast Cars' remains Chapman's best-known work, 'Talkin' Bout a Revolution' is that rarest breed: a song which is both topical and timeless. Any exploration into Chapman's work should begin with this at times stunning effort; it's a disc of remarkable uniformity and clarity that Chapman has yet to improve on. --Wayne Pernu
