What is it--music soothes the savage beast? I mean, really. The joy. Yesterday after posting to you, I tried to find "Out of Range," but it wasn't in the CD case (where is it? aargh!), so I saw this strange choice I bought the other day--Heart's greatest hits, and I put it on REALLY LOUD, and even my husband got into it. Them olden days, eh?
I am not a fan of Allison Krause, though I have heard her, and I've never heard Gilligan or Greg, but the Indigo Goils and I go waaaaay back. I lost them a bit after "Shaming of the Sun"--couldn't make myself buy it. But the new one could hold a short candle to my favorite, "Swamp Ophelia." Liking them again and still.
I like this little country singer, Lori McKenna. Her poetry is beautiful, even if it does invoke God a lot. I also like Voices on the Verge and some of the individual performers in that group--especially Erin Mc (I'm not spelling this right--maybe not even remembering it right)Ewin? Eh--Erin somebody, but I've yet to buy her CD.
Silly me, I still like the girly girls--Alanis and Tori, Sarah. And I love Counting Crows, though it's rare we listen to the guy music around here, unless it's Billy Bragg or Beethoven or Lloyd Cole, whom I adore and worship. I think music was better about fifteen years ago. I still dream of Dada and Dramarama. My daughter is hooked on old Psychedelic Furs.
I can't get into Third Eye Blind and Goo Goo Dolls and all those other sound-alikes. Korn, Linkin Park--Yuck. Only Green Day has, for me, what I liked about the early punk groups. Once in awhile I hear a really great song--a punky ditty that takes me back, and I think, this is cool, but I forget the band's name, and they never do it again.
Thanks for sharing. It's made me realize how small my repertoire is!
