music you cant live without


Maybe a bit of an over statment but we are all infatuated with music(or we would not be on this site) and I am sure we all have music that we listen to all of the time, so what's your favorite/s?

Hi Tireguy; without a doubt it's virtually any Cowboy Junkies CD, but especially "The Caution Horses", "The Trinity Session", and lately "Waltz Across America". If I had Bill Gates' money, I would buy the "Junkies" and have them play in my den-- forever. Margo Timmins voice (and appearance) makes me drool uncontrollably, and the "Junkies" band work, besides being unusual, is great. I have not been able to "classify" the Junkies music-- trying to control myself-- gotta stop--g[oqkrgfev';fbwqr[pp oprjkr-- shaking, sweating, fever, lost it for awhile-- sorry. Craig.
Hi Tireguy, interesting thread that I have seen over the period of a year or so (titled differently) on Audiogon, however I have never posted to it. Garfish does have a BAD case of the “Junkies” I think we need to take up a collection for him and see if we can rent the Cowboy Junkies for a week and send them to his den. Actually I want to thank Garfish and a few others that have posted before about the Cowboy Junkies, I had never heard of them before however now I own and enjoy (not to the advanced level of Garfish) Studio, Trinity Session, Waltz Across America, Black Eyed Man, 200 More Miles, and The Caution Horses. Last night my wife and I were watching “Dantes Peak”, there was a bar scene and what do you think my ears picked up faintly in the background, Cowboy Junkies music!
I also enjoy various songs off of all of Patricia Barbers’ CD’s, Jennifer Warnes- The Hunter, Tracy Chapman- New Beginnings, Buddy Rich Big Band- Keep The Customers Satisfied, The Phil Collins Big Band- A Hot Night In Paris, Sonny Rollins- This Is What I Do, David Benoit- Here’s To You, Charlie Brown: 50 Great Years, Most of the Count Basie and Duke Ellington music, (I own to many of them to select a specific favorite). I hope people respond I always pick up some ideas for a few more CD’s to pick up.
Classical: "Ports of Call", "Mephisto and Company", "Bolero!" all on Reference recordings. If Tam o'Shanter from "Mephisto" doesn't shake your entire room, you need better woofers. Jazz: (Duke Ellington) "This One's for Blanton". Male vocal: "The Kenny Rankin Album". This guy's voice is guaranteed to absolutely melt any member of the female persuasion who may come within listening range. Female vocal has been well covered by recent threads. Thanks to all of you who turned me on to "Cowboy Junkies" and "Diana Krall".
Janis Ian "Breaking Silence", Belafonte "Belafonte Sings the Blues", Charles Lloyd "Water is Wide", Patricia Barber "Companion", and Stravinsky "Firebird Suite" on Sheffield. There are many more--but these seem to keep coming back into "heavy rotation".
