You just might get "happy feet"
Do you need a smile today? This short clip is guaranteed to brighten your day. -
Hymns of the 49th Parallel
An acoustic classic
I love this 2004 CD because k.d. is singing some classic songs from other Canadian musicians, including one of my favorite artists, Neil Young. Those darn Canadians are awesome. -
Harps and Angels
Wonderful music
Randy Newman’s ability to write in a humorous way without being a clown is amazing. Irony in music is not easy to pull off, but you’d never know that listening to Newman. The man is a genius. -
Shine
Joni Mitchell pushes her music into vital new territory
Her voice—husky with age and chain-smoked American Spirits—shines with a warrior's strength and defiance even in ragged armor, like Billie Holiday's late recordings. -
Songs for Silverman
Great hooks and wonderful melodies
Ben Folds is brilliant. I’ve followed his career for years and never tire of his fantastic music. He is a great singer-songwriter in the tradition of Elton John and Billy Joel. -
Kevin’s November Must-Get Music
Great music for a relaxing evening
Madeleine Peyroux is often compared to a modern Billie Holiday. She’s an old soul or was “born with it.” -
Kevin's September Must-Get Music
Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone
Lush is a great word for this CD, and even though these gems come from the movies, they are all stand-alone masterpieces. -

Kevin’s July Must-Get Music

Kevin recommends music of the Little River Band and Maurizio Pollini’s renderings of Chopin’s nocturnes. -
Kevin's June Must-Get Music
Sky Blue Sky and Alone
My friend Jim has been trying to get me to listen to Wilco for 4 years. I finally relented and wish that I had done so a long time ago.
André Previn's Alone is a masterpiece. Previn has been a major force in the classical and jazz worlds for decades. He’s worked with everyone from Sinatra and Ella to the New York Philharmonic. -
Young (and Wild) at Heart
This is one choral group that might remind you of the days when you used to tell your kids to turn down the music!
