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?

End of relationship - Billie Holiday "Lady in Satin". Existential crisis - Bach's "Cello Suites". Looking for Salvation - Coltrane, " A Love Supreme". Angry at the world - The Clash, "London Calling" or "Black Market Clash".

I can see I'll be looking for some new music as a result of the posts on this thread. JD, your post was heavy, but know that you make the Audiogon chat room a more enjoyable place to visit. And like Detlof and others, music has helped pull me through some tough times too. Craig

Cowboy Junkies for pain. Cowboy Junkies for anger. Cowboy Junkies for frustration. But, when I am feeling good I listen to the Cowboy Junkies.

Sorry if mine got a bit too down, but I hope most of you will understand. I was just sharing myself so you can understand who I am. I find so much of the people on this site to be the best for a bad day. I enjoy the posts and the relationships we've made, so if I went too far, sorry, it's just sharing with people I enjoy. So with that, it's Coltrane tonight! J.D.
