1	At Folsom Prison (1968) more music like this by Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison was one of two legendary live albums Johnny Cash recorded in front of a prison audience in the late '60s. Part of the appeal of the records is the way Cash plays to the audience, selecting a set of songs that are all about prison, crime, murder, regret, loss, mother, God, and loneliness. Cash stimulates the audience's emotions, ... see all copies from £4.03! new only from £7.93!
2	Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits (2004) more music like this by John Denver Placing the word definitive on a best-of collection is usually a panicked label attempt to fill last-minute Christmas stockings, but in the case of RCA's Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits John Denver retrospective, it's a truly apt description. Coinciding with the 35th anniversary of Denver's first album release on RCA, the two-disc, 24-track ... see all copies from £7.63! new only from £11.84!
3	Gord's Gold (1975) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot Following the success of Sundown, Gordon Lightfoot continued his success by releasing a greatest-hits compilation. A double album (now a single CD), it contained the most popular songs from his Warner Bros. years on disc two, and he re-recorded many of his early songs for side one of record one. Although not as good, perhaps, as the originals, ... see all copies from £3.38! new only from £8.71!
4	The Complete Greatest Hits (2002) more music like this by Gordon Lightfoot Rhino's 2002 collection The Complete Greatest Hits is certainly welcome for presenting what is essentially all of his most popular songs on one 20-track disc, but, the thing is, that's actually a trickier task with Gordon Lightfoot than you might think. On both volumes of Gord's Gold, he re-recorded early songs and mixed them with current hits -- ... see all copies from £7.97! new only from £10.88!
5	Wide Open Spaces (1998) more music like this by Dixie Chicks 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 £2.73! new only from £4.73!
6	Live Like You Were Dying (2004) more music like this by Tim McGraw There's good reason for Tim McGraw's endurance at the top of contemporary country: he's a restless visionary who's worked hard to improve as an interpretive singer. In 2002, McGraw bucked the trend and convinced his label, and producers Byron Gallimore and Darran Smith, to let him use his road band in the studio. The rough and tumble intimacy of ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £7.02!
7	16 Biggest Hits (1999) more music like this by Johnny Cash Many of Johnny Cash's biggest hits, among them "Ring of Fire," "Understand Your Man," and "A Boy Named Sue," are included on Legacy's 16 Biggest Hits. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.38! new only from £4.26!
8	Live (2002) more music like this by Alison Krauss & Union Station Given Alison Krauss' tremendous popularity and her status as the first female bluegrass singer to cross over into genuine pop marketability, and given the fact that her guitarist, Dan Tyminski, is the voice behind "Man of Constant Sorrow" (or at least the version that served as an idée fixe in the blockbuster movie O Brother, Where Art Thou?), a ... see all copies from £8.01! new only from £13.44!
9	Viva Terlingua (1973) more music like this by Jerry Jeff Walker Viva Terlingua, recorded live in Luckenbach, TX, on a hot August night in 1973, is among the most legendary of "live" singer/songwriter albums ever released. It's the Live at the Fillmore East of redneck Texas folk-rock. Essentially, it's Jerry Jeff fronting the Lost Gonzo Band at the beginning of their long run together playing, living it up, ... see all copies from £5.22! new only from £7.28!
10	Red Headed Stranger (1975) more music like this by Willie Nelson Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger perhaps is the strangest blockbuster country produced, a concept album about a preacher on the run after murdering his departed wife and her new lover, told entirely with brief song-poems and utterly minimal backing. It's defiantly anticommercial and it demands intense concentration -- all reasons why nobody ... see all copies from £3.40! new only from £8.91!
11 view cover	The Essential Johnny Cash (2002) more music like this by Johnny Cash Issued in commemoration of Cash's 70th birthday, this double CD is a good survey of 1955-1993 career highlights (and a different release than the similarly titled three-CD The Essential Johnny Cash 1955-1983). Is it a good place to start? That depends on what you have or don't have already, considering that so many greatest-hits compilations ... see all copies from £7.37! new only from £7.37!
12 view cover	Profile: Best of Emmylou Harris (1978) more music like this by Emmylou Harris Given how long and fruitful her career has been, and the scope of this collection -- an overview of her 1970s offerings -- Profile should no longer be subtitled Best of Emmylou Harris. That said, this is a weighty compilation of very important material that provides a solid introduction to the beginnings of one of America's most important and ... see all copies from £4.30! new only from £4.77!
13 view cover	The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this by Kathy Mattea The Kathy Mattea entry in Universal Music's discount-priced hits series The Definitive Collection is the most extensive compilation on the country singer yet released, and it contains almost all of her major hits from the six-year period, 1986-1991, when she was one of the top hitmakers in country music. In addition, Robyn Flans' longer-than-usual ... see all copies from £8.90! new only from £10.47!
14 view cover	Now That I've Found You: A Collection (1995) more music like this by Alison Krauss Alison Krauss had been recording a decade before she gained stardom, but she became a star in a big way. Now That I've Found You: A Collection, a retrospective of her ten-year recording career for Rounder, became the surprise hit of 1995, rocketing to number two on the country charts and into the Top 15 on the pop charts, which is remarkable for ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £6.83!
15 view cover	A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection (2007) more music like this by Alison Krauss The title of Rounder's Alison Krauss compilation A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection is a bit misleading. While it does contain previously recorded material, it is not to be taken as a greatest-hits package; rather, the 16 tracks are compiled from Krauss' numerous collaborations, soundtrack appearances, and other non-Union Station gigs. That ... see all copies from £9.86! new only from £12.23!
16 view cover	Down from the Mountain: O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Recorded at Nashville's historic Ryman Theater as a sort of a musical wrap party for the Coen Brothers' 2000 film O Brother Where Art Thou, this album offers live versions of several of the traditional American folk songs featured in the film, with a few additions along the same vein. Sounding almost like an all-traditional country episode of "A ... see all copies from £4.30! new only from £10.47!
17 view cover	Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles (1994) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £2.73! new only from £12.86!
18 view cover	A Star Is Born (1976) more music like this by Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson Though it is credited to Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, A Star Is Born is in effect the soundtrack album to the motion picture of the same name, a rock-oriented retelling of the story that had been filmed three times before. That it is not billed as a soundtrack only indicates that the album contains the songs featured in the film, but ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £7.51!
19 view cover	New Favorite (2001) more music like this by Alison Krauss & Union Station see all copies from £5.33! new only from £12.18!
20 view cover	Last of the Breed (2007) more music like this by Willie Nelson/Ray Price/Merle Haggard The title Last of the Breed speaks with a defiance that, for the most part, the music on this album does not, and that's just as it should be -- while Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Ray Price are indeed among the last functioning practitioners of pure, unadulterated Western swing, honky tonk, or countrypolitan blues in the classic manner, on ... see all copies from £12.24! new only from £12.78!
21 view cover	Walela (1997) more music like this by Walela Familial vocal trio Walela's self-titled debut album is also their finest to date, an amalgamation of Native American roots music (specifically Cherokee), singer/songwriter folk, pop, and Southern gospel that's also not unappealing to new age sensibilities. Although the music is deeply rooted in tradition, its hybrid uniqueness gives it a ... see all copies from £7.51! new only from £11.79!
22 view cover	The Essential Kris Kristofferson (2004) more music like this by Kris Kristofferson The two-CD Essential Kris Kristofferson compilation isn't a balanced retrospective of his lengthy career, heavily emphasizing his 1969-1971 recordings, which in fact comprise all of disc one. And it doesn't represent many of his albums at all (particularly the ones not done for Monument or Columbia), including just one post-1985 track. On the ... see all copies from £10.44! new only from £16.47!
23 view cover	At San Quentin [CD/DVD] (2006) more music like this by Johnny Cash At San Quentin was released as a single-disc expanded edition in 2000 bearing the subtitle "The Complete Concert," so the appearance of the triple-disc Legacy Edition of the album a mere six years later brings up one simple question: if the 2000 edition was complete at a single disc, how is this set more complete? The answer is both complicated ... see all copies from £9.94! new only from £22.06!
24 view cover	Greatest Hits (1990) more music like this by Keith Whitley Assembled and released shortly after Keith Whitley's death, Greatest Hits contains nine of his biggest songs -- including the Top Ten singles "Ten Feet Away," "Don't Close Your Eyes," "When You Say Nothing at All," "I'm No Stranger to the Rain," "I Wonder Do You Think of Me," "It Ain't Nothing," and "I'm Over You" -- plus two unreleased songs: a ... see all copies from £5.11! new only from £5.77!
25 view cover	Cowboy Songs (1990) more music like this by Michael Martin Murphey The first of three albums of cowboy material by Michael Martin Murphey, and one of the better modern collections. Murphey approaches his material with both reverence and humor, which makes this disc less serious than many more grimly authentic efforts. For repertory he draws on the songs of Bob Nolan ("Tumbling Tumbleweeds"), Dale Evans ("Happy ... see all copies from £5.46! new only from £7.65!
