Music for "Tough Times"

End of relationship - Billie Holiday "Lady in Satin". Existential crisis - Bach's "Cello Suites". Looking for Salvation - Coltrane, " A Love Supreme". Angry at the world - The Clash, "London Calling" or "Black Market Clash".

I can see I'll be looking for some new music as a result of the posts on this thread. JD, your post was heavy, but know that you make the Audiogon chat room a more enjoyable place to visit. And like Detlof and others, music has helped pull me through some tough times too. Craig

Cowboy Junkies for pain. Cowboy Junkies for anger. Cowboy Junkies for frustration. But, when I am feeling good I listen to the Cowboy Junkies.

Sorry if mine got a bit too down, but I hope most of you will understand. I was just sharing myself so you can understand who I am. I find so much of the people on this site to be the best for a bad day. I enjoy the posts and the relationships we've made, so if I went too far, sorry, it's just sharing with people I enjoy. So with that, it's Coltrane tonight! J.D.

I didn't start this thread, but thanks for the great responses. Jadem6, I wish you the best. Some of my picks are James Taylor's, Secret Of Life, Paul Simon, American Tune, and too many to mention by Bob Dylan. For a lift, I love Whipping Post, by the Allman Brothers, who I am seeing tommorrow night at the Beacon Theater in NYC, and Hendrix' version of All along the Watchtower. Cornfedboy, I love your choice of Untouchable Face. Ani Difranco is one of my favorites. I am curious. Have you ever heard Dan Bern? He is a friend of Ani's, another underground artist. She produced one of his albums. He is irreverent, funny, angry,poltical,lewd, sarcastic and sentimental. He wrote an incredible song about violence in schools, called Kid's Prayer, that is a heart breaker. It is a single, that is available only from his web site, http://www.dbhq.com All proceeds go to victims of child abuse. Everytime we have another horror story in one of the schools, I think of that song.
