Les Paul
The Inventor - Great Guitar Instrumentals
What other guitarist has a name so universally connected to his instrument as Les Paul? He was an inventor, all right—as a jazz player, as a guitar designer and as a studio-technique trailblazer—and his instrumentals influenced multiple generations of guitar-wielding disciples. Here are 'Lover; Brazil; What Is This Thing Called Love?; Nola; Goofus; Little Rock Getaway; Jazz Me Blues; Josephine; Whispering; Jingle Bells; Carioca; Meet Mister Callaghan; Lady of Spain', and 'The Kangaroo'. That’s 14 of the 15 1948–53 Capitol hits by this recently departed electric-guitar icon!

Barry Goldberg
Barry Goldberg
Produced by Bob Dylan (who also sings and plays percussion) and Jerry Wexler and spotlighting Barry Goldberg the songwriter (his keyboard playing usually stole the show), this 1972 LP won widespread praise—but the version released has been haunting Barry for decades. The missing Muscle Shoals vocals have now finally been replaced; unreleased songs join 'Shady Hotel; It’s Not the Spotlight; I’ve Got to Use My Imagination' (Barry wrote the Gladys Knight smash), and more. A long-awaited CD debut and restoration!

Paul Anka
The Times Of Your Life - Best Of The '70s
Anka’s teen-idol years came to an end in ’61, when the 19-year-old scored his last Top 10 for ABC-Paramount, 'Dance On Little Girl'. It wasn’t until 13 years later that he returned to the Top 10—and that 1974 hit proved to be no fluke, as Paul’s evolved songwriting skills soon made him a star all over again. Here are the biggest hits from his ’70s renaissance: '(You’re) Having My Baby; One Man Woman/One Woman Man; Times of Your Life; I Don’t Like to Sleep Alone; (I Believe) There’s Nothing Stronger Than Our Love; Anytime (I’ll Be There); Happier; My Best Friend’s Wife', and more!

Wynn Stewart
Greatest Country Hits
What was Merle Haggard doing in ’62, the year before he scored his first hit? Playing bass in Wynn Stewart’s band. And who penned Haggard’s first chart entry?

Here are 13 essentials by the man so greatly admired and appreciated by generations of country artists and fans: his hits 'It’s Such a Pretty World Today; Love’s Gonna Happen to Me; ’Cause I Have You; Something Pretty; Waltz of the Angels; In Love; Strings; Heavenly; Yours Forever', and more!

Don Williams
Country Hits
After finding folk-pop success with his Pozo-Seco Singers in the ’60s, Don Williams took his songs to Nashville and his heart to country music in the ’70s.

Crystal Gayle
Top 10 Country Hits
The country-music market was not big enough to contain the massive hits (let alone the floor-length hair) of Loretta Lynn’s little sister.
