More Songs by Ricky is the fifth album by rock and roll and pop idol Ricky Nelson, released in July 1960.[1] The album was recorded at Master Recorders studios in Hollywood, California, United States.

The album contains old standards from his dad Ozzie Nelson's era, including "When Your Lover Has Gone", "Baby Won't You Please Come Home", "Time After Time", and "Again". The album was the last to credit his first name as "Ricky" and final studio album credited as "Ricky Nelson" during his lifetime. Jimmie Haskell arranged the album and Charles "Bud" Dant produced it.

The album debuted on the Billboard Best Selling LPs chart in the issue dated August 29, 1960, remaining on the chart for 22 weeks and peaking at number 18.[2] It reached No. 24 on the Cashbox albums chart during an 11-week stay on the chart.[3] The only single from the album was "I'm Not Afraid", which debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the issue dated September 5, 1960, peaking at number 27 during its eight-week stay.[4] and number 40 on the Cashbox singles chart,[5]

The album was released on compact disc by Capitol Records on June 19, 2001, as tracks 1 through 12 on a pairing of two albums on one CD with tracks 19 through 30 consisting of Nelson's 1961 album, Rick Is 21.[6]
