1	Come Away with Me (2002) more music like this by Norah Jones add to wishlist Norah Jones' debut on Blue Note is a mellow, acoustic pop affair with soul and country overtones, immaculately produced by the great Arif Mardin. (It's pretty much an open secret that the 22-year-old vocalist and pianist is the daughter of Ravi Shankar.) Jones is not quite a jazz singer, but she is joined by some highly regarded jazz talent: ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £6.16!
2	Feels Like Home (2004) more music like this by Norah Jones add to wishlist It may be far too obvious to even mention that Norah Jones' follow-up to her 18-million-unit-selling, eight-Grammy-winning, genre-bending, super-smash album Come Away With Me has perhaps a bit too much to live up to. But that's probably the biggest conundrum for Jones: having to follow up the phenomenal success of an album that was never designed ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £8.75!
3	Raising Sand (2007) more music like this by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss add to wishlist What seems to be an unlikely pairing in the duo of former -- and future apparently -- Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant and bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss is actually one of the most effortless-sounding pairings in modern popular music. The bridge seems to be producer T-Bone Burnett and the band assembled for this outing: drummer Jay Bellerose ... see all copies from £5.92! new only from £10.77!
4	The Very Best of Peter, Paul and Mary [Warner/Rhino] (2005) more music like this by Peter, Paul and Mary add to wishlist see all copies from £9.10! new only from £9.10!
5	Songbird (1998) more music like this by Eva Cassidy add to wishlist Though many recording artists meld and straddle a variety of genres, few if any defy categorization by excelling in so many disparate styles as the late Eva Cassidy. The diverse offerings from the evocative thrush from Washington, D.C. -- who died tragically of melanoma in 1996 at age 33 -- run the gamut from the radio-friendly pop cover of Sting ... see all copies from £5.61! new only from £9.28!
6	Baby Beluga (1980) more music like this by Raffi add to wishlist From probably the world's most popular whale, this record is a delight. For ages three to eight. ~ Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide see all copies from £4.80! new only from £9.66!
7	The Essential Bob Dylan (2000) more music like this by Bob Dylan add to wishlist A double-disc set released for the holiday season of 2000, The Essential Bob Dylan is a fine choice for the casual listener that just wants all the songs they know on one collection -- it's Dylan's equivalent of Beatles One. Outside of the remastering and the previously non-LP (and very good) "Things Have Changed," there's nothing here for ... see all copies from £11.21! new only from £11.21!
8	Not Too Late (2007) more music like this by Norah Jones add to wishlist Recoils from fame usually aren't as subdued as Norah Jones' third album, Not Too Late, but such understatement is customary for this gentlest of singer/songwriters. Not Too Late may not be as barbed or alienating as either In Utero or Kid A -- it's not an ornery intensification of her sound nor a chilly exploration of its furthest limits -- but ... see all copies from £4.03! new only from £8.78!
9	Into the Wild (2007) more music like this by Eddie Vedder add to wishlist Eddie Vedder's Into the Wild is a collection of nine original songs and two covers for Sean Penn's film of the same name, based on Jon Krakauer's novel. The novel and film are concerned with the short life of Christopher J. McCandless, an honor student and athlete who literally walked away from his life, donated his 24,000 dollars in savings to ... see all copies from £7.78! new only from £7.78!
10	Begin to Hope (2006) more music like this by Regina Spektor add to wishlist On Begin to Hope, Regina Spektor treads a delicate balance between her anti-folk past and her present home on Sire Records. Though the label re-released Soviet Kitsch in 2004, Begin to Hope is Spektor's first original material for Sire, and it feels more like a major-label debut than Soviet Kitsch ever did. The album's big, glossy production and ... see all copies from £10.09! new only from £10.09!
11	Coco (2007) more music like this by Colbie Caillat add to wishlist Sweetness rules on Colbie Caillat's debut, Coco, which is perhaps only appropriate for an album bearing that name. The record doesn't play like a toasty mug of chocolate on a winter's day, though; it's a sugary lemonade on a breezy summer afternoon. It's light and comforting, a familiar blend of sunny pop and singer/songwriter tropes that flirt ... see all copies from £5.55! new only from £6.68!
12	Till the Sun Turns Black (2006) more music like this by Ray LaMontagne add to wishlist If it weren't for his singing voice, so full of smoke and ether, one would be hard-pressed to believe that Till the Sun Turns Black was made by the same man who recorded Trouble just two years prior to it. Ray LaMontagne takes a brave leap from the rootsy singer/songwriter material of his stellar debut album and goes nearly 180 degrees. Once more ... see all copies from £6.95! new only from £6.95!
13	Once: Music from the Motion Picture (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The starring roles in Once, the little movie that could by writer/director John Carney, go to the Frames' Glen Hansard and Czech singer/songwriter Markéta Irglová. The songs, representing those of the character Guy and his collaborator Girl, are made up of simple and attractive acoustic pop, full of guitars, piano, a small drum kit, and electric ... see all copies from £7.48! new only from £8.72!
14	O (2003) more music like this by Damien Rice add to wishlist Magnificently packaged in a CD-sized hardcover book filled with personal artwork, lyrics, and photos, Damien Rice's debut full-length, O, is nothing less than a work of genius, a perfect cross between Ryan Adams and David Gray and a true contender for one of the best albums of 2003. This Irish singer/songwriter works with impassioned folk songs ... see all copies from £6.55! new only from £8.50!
15	Wide Open Spaces (1998) more music like this by Dixie Chicks add to wishlist The Dixie Chicks spent the first half of the '90s toiling away on the independent bluegrass circuit, releasing three albums on small labels, before sisters Martie Seidel and Emily Robison decided to revamp their sound in 1995, adding Natalie Maines as their lead singer and, in the process, moving the group away from bluegrass and toward a major ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.90!
16	Some Mad Hope (2007) more music like this by Matt Nathanson add to wishlist Singer/songwriter Matt Nathanson has been playing the college circuit for quite a few years now, impressing coeds with his energetic live show (which often includes a collection of well-known covers) and heartfelt guitar playing. So those already enamored of Nathanson should have no reason for complaint on his second major-label release -- and ... see all copies from £10.96! new only from £10.96!
17	Little Voice (2007) more music like this by Sara Bareilles add to wishlist For her first major outing Little Voice, Sara Bareilles puts forth an intimate, emotionally charged album that sounds remarkably polished for a fledgling self-taught songwriter/performer. In fact, her voice even stands up to professionally trained pop divas like Christina Aguilera. Her only potential downfall is that she fits so perfectly in the ... see all copies from £7.08! new only from £7.08!
18	Bob Dylan (1962) more music like this by Bob Dylan add to wishlist Bob Dylan's first album is a lot like the debut albums by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones -- a sterling effort, outclassing most, if not all, of what came before it in the genre, but similarly eclipsed by the artist's own subsequent efforts. The difference was that not very many people heard Bob Dylan on its original release (originals on the ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £4.82!
19	Tracy Chapman (1988) more music like this by Tracy Chapman add to wishlist Arriving with little fanfare in the spring of 1988, Tracy Chapman's eponymous debut album became one of the key records of the Bush era, providing a touchstone for the entire PC movement while reviving the singer/songwriter tradition. And Tracy Chapman is firmly within the classic singer/songwriter tradition, sounding for all the world as if it ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.11!
20	Nebraska (1982) more music like this by Bruce Springsteen add to wishlist There is an adage in the record business that a recording artist's demos of new songs often come off better than the more polished versions later worked up in a studio. But Bruce Springsteen was the first person to act on that theory, when he opted to release the demo versions of his latest songs, recorded with only acoustic or electric guitar, ... see all copies from £4.34! new only from £4.79!
21	New Favorite (2001) more music like this by Alison Krauss & Union Station add to wishlist Following the success of the startlingly popular traditional old-timey soundtrack for the film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, contemporary bluegrass pioneers Alison Krauss & Union Station moved in the opposite direction for their 2001 release, New Favorite. While Krauss and Union Station guitarist/vocalist Dan Tyminski got deeply in touch with their ... see all copies from £5.26! new only from £9.44!
22	Greatest Hits (2007) more music like this by Sara Evans add to wishlist Sara Evans wasted no time getting back to what she does best in the music game after her divorce. While it's true that this is a compilation released just a week after the messy event was final, this set arrived and four of its 14 cuts are new tracks. There are some real problems with assembling a collection like this: for starters it contains not ... see all copies from £6.54! new only from £7.76!
23	Amos Lee (2005) more music like this by Amos Lee add to wishlist With a dusky soul voice and a knack for literate, thoughtful lyrics, singer/songwriter Amos Lee is a throwback to a more organic-sounding pop time period. Calling to mind a mix of Bill Withers, Arthur Lee, and James Taylor, Lee croons through his mellow eponymous debut with a singular sense of his time and place that adds weight to his already ... see all copies from £5.06! new only from £8.77!
24	Singable Songs for the Very Young (1976) more music like this by Raffi add to wishlist This is the one that started it all, still one of the most popular recordings for children. For ages four to ten. ~ Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.86! new only from £9.66!
25	Peter, Paul & Mommy, Too (1993) more music like this by Peter, Paul and Mary add to wishlist ...Peter, Paul And Mary continue their folk music magic for children. The album was recorded before a live audience of children and their families and feature the trio's renowned harmonies on such folk classics as "Puff the Magic Dragon," "We Shall Overcome," and "The Fox." ~ MusD, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.74! new only from £7.30!
