that each protects the solitude of the other.

music for the soul

the musicians i connect with most are the ones that have taken the words from inside my soul and expressed them through their voice. ray lamontagne and tracy chapman are two artists who do this effortlessly for me. they both have new albums out. however, i like pretty much every song they have ever written and performed.

here are my top 10 favorite songs at the moment (for those of you who may be looking for some inspiring music to add to your playlist):

1. let it be me - ray lamontagne

2. all that you have is your soul – tracy chapman

3. fields of gold – eva cassidy

4. johnny and june – heidi newfield

5. one love – cheryl wheeler 

6. tougher than the rest – bruce springsteen 

7. aint gonna lose you – brett dennen

8. love me like a man – bonnie raitt

9. love you again – john hiatt

10. i’d rather be with you – joshua radin

    Hey Amy Jo,

    I just saw Ray Lamontagne at Spreckles in November. He was absolutely amazing. I’m fairly certain he has stage fright though, which made his performace even more genuine and endearing. Nice to see another fan.

    How are things going for you? Still at Yoga One? I really want to get back into it and I need soemthing close to work.

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    …The new Bruce Springsteen studio album, ‘Working On A Dream’, is released January 27th. I have had the possibility of hearing it but I had to listen to it on headphones……
