There's a few songs that make me infinitely happier when I hear them no matter what sort of mood I am in.

Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat

 

Little Feat - Willin'

 

Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Forest Fire

 

Lucinda Williams - Lake Charles

 

Witness - Freezing Over Morning

Funny, I was just putting together a bunch of Tom Waits songs with a redemption theme.

 

This is what I got, so far...

 

Jesus Gonna Be Here

Down there by the Train

Way Down in the Hole

Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis

Long Way Home

Lord I've Been Changed

Martha

Train Song

Franks Theme

Please Call Me, Baby

 

Great minds... One of the first mix CDs I ever made back when I first had access to a CD burner was a Tom Waits mix called "Hollywood Be Thy Name: The Gospel According to Tom Waits". Several of these songs were on it. :) I even bought the "Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet" single by Gavin Bryars, just to round out the setlist.
