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?
garfish
Judit -- which version do you recommend for the Duet?
My nominations for...
...music to jump off a bridge: Mahler's Songs of the Earth with Ferrier.
...music to keep you off the bridge: "Never Get Out of These Blues Alive" JL Hooker
Today I had a tough hangover. Tough time isn't it? But Irmin Schmidt's "Impossible Holidays" CD made me feel much easier while I was heading to work.
Joe Louis Walker's latest CD "In The Morning" If it is only one song it would be his rendition of "Uh" on the CD "The Preacher And The President". If that won't pick you up, you gotta be DEAD. He is a excellent Blues Man.
