Music for "Tough Times"

Daniel Lanois and Patricia Barber have helped me too
Also Mahler's third, first t and last movements, I have about 8 different recordings of it and they all work well even if in different ways
Janis Ian Breaking Silence
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Live in Paris
Ghazal's three albums
Lou Reed's Berlin
Laurie Anderson's Strange Angels
Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Mehuhin's West Meets East
Ray Bryant plays the blues
John Handy's Karuna Supreme

This thread reminds me of one of the fundamental axioms of
the human condition: You can't decide / control what you
feel, but you CAN control the environment which you respond to. And for this purpose: The sounds of silence, by Simon and Garfunkle.

The Chimpmonks! that will cheer you up!

The Call "Let the Day Begin". Up elevator
Beethoven "Moonlight Sonata". Down elevator.

Supersession, with Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, and Stephen Stills. A couple of the cuts truely suck (Kooper gets self-indulgent on the organ), but the rest are as good as electric blues gets.
