Jesus Rocks

I love it when rock ‘n rollers show a little faith. I hope they mean it, but sometimes I don’t think they realize how what they are saying translates to a person who believes.  That’s why I included the Peter Gabriel song, In Your Eyes, on this list. I see God in it. How does it translate to you?

“In your eyes, I see the doorways to a thousand churches. In your eyes, the resolution to all the fruitless searches. I want to feel the light, the heat of your eyes. In your eyes, I am complete.”

This one of the lists that makes my wife crazy. It combines classical, jazz and some rock and roll. For me, it’s fun finding a convergence of all the different types of music I enjoy.

Hope you enjoy it, too.

Son Volt


By

Jay Farrar was in a band with Jeff Tweety called Uncle Tupelo. When the band broke up, Jeff started Wilco and Jay started Son Volt. I’m sure Wilco is the band you’ve heard of, but Son Volt deserves a listen, too. Problem is Son Volt is another band, like The Jayhawks or Kim Richey or Cowboy Junkies, lost in a radio world without rock and roll in all it’s varied, ragged glory. Fact is, great rock bands like The Eagles would get lost in today’s music hierarchy.

Give Son Volt a listen. It ain’t country, but that’s what they call it nowadays.

Kim Richey

This is a new kind of playlist. One artist only. Not a greatest hits, really. Just my favorites from an artist I think you will enjoy. Sometimes it’s not so easy to get all my favorites on one disk, but I do for these lists. And rarely are the “greatest hits” included. You’ve heard those already. Try these, I’ll think you’ll like them.

This list is from Kim Richey. If she had been born in a simpler time, when rock was rock and country was George Jones and Tammy and Loretta, she would be a star of the first degree. Just listen, you’ll see exactly what I mean.
