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?

interesting question, garfish. i can think of several recordings, tho my no. 1 vote goes to ani difranco's "dilate," in particular track 1: "untouchable face." read or listen to the lyrics and i think you'll undersatnd why i favor it. (parental discretion advised). -kelly
Other feel-good hits are: Me first and the Gimme Gimmes, "Have a Ball" and Sarah McLachlan, "Rarities, B-side & other stuff".
I have to agree with Cornfedboy too, Ani's Dilate is an excellent album.
