I must have been waiting for this thread! These are songs/pieces that can move me. Here's my list:
FOLK
Most of Stan Rogers (folk category):
Album - 'Fogarty's Cove' / Songs - "Fisherman's Wharf", "The Wreck of the Athens Queen"
Album - 'Between the Breaks (Live)' / Songs - "Barrett's Privateers", "Witch of the Westmorland" & "The Mary Ellen Carter"
Judy Collins: Songs "Sunny Goodge Street" & "I Think It's Going To Rain Today"
Pentangle: Song "The Trees They Do Grow High"
Leo Kottke: particularly the albums "6 & 12-String Guitar" & "One Guitar, No Vocals"
ROCK
J.J. Cale:
Album - 'Special Edition' (best songs) / All especially songs "Crazy Mama", "Lies" & "Don't Cry Sister"
Robbie Robertson: 1st Album S/T
CSN &Y on '4-Way Street' - "Cowgirl in the Sand"
Quicksilver Messenger Service: Albums - either 'Happy Trails" or 'Sons of Mercury' (Greatest Hits)
It's A Beautiful Day: Song "White Bird"
CLASSICAL
Jussi Bjoerling & Robert Merrill - "Au Fond du Temple Saint" (duet from Bizet's 'The Pearl Fisher')
Bach - Concerto for Two Violins (Heifetz) RCA
Jean-Pierre Rampal/Lily Laskine - Japanese Melodies (maybe the most relaxing music I've heard)
COUNTRY
Don Williams: Song "Good Ole Boys Like Me"
Charlie Pride: Song "Roll On Mississippi"
That's a start...
