Music for "Tough Times"

When you're feeling lousy, or maybe just had a tough day, what one LP, CD, tape, etc. do you play to make you feel better? In my case it's Cowboy Junkies CD "The Caution Horses". Margo Timmins voice is at once soft and soothing, but also haunting and immediate. This is music that I can get lost in. What music do others use on occasions like this?

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.

If I want to smile my way out of the doldrums I put on Jorge Aragao 'Live". Nothing lifts my spirit more than great samba. Truly music that reaches the heart, soul and feet simultaneously.

The Caution Horses! Garfish, you and I are exactly alike. Nothing like listening to Margo's voice quiver on "You Will Be Loved Again." (check out Mary Margaret O'Hara's original) I also like the Trash Can Sinatras- "A Happy Pocket" and the Cranberries "No Need to Argue."
