Calexico Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 There's a few songs that make me infinitely happier when I hear them no matter what sort of mood I am in. Tom Waits - Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat Little Feat - Willin' Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Forest Fire Lucinda Williams - Lake Charles Witness - Freezing Over Morning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Although lyrically there's plenty of downtrodden subject matter, the crushing and anthemic (for lack of a better word) sound of Boys and Girls in America and Stay Positive by The Hold Steady make me want to pump my fist in the air and lift my spirits up.

bigshoulders Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 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 HereDown there by the TrainWay Down in the Hole Christmas Card from a Hooker in MinneapolisLong Way HomeLord I've Been ChangedMartha Train SongFranks ThemePlease 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
