What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two).RSS feed

American V: A Hundred Highways / Johnny Cash
Is there a sadder sound in the world, could there be a sadder sound, than the Man In Black, mourning the lost love of his life and near death himself, croaking out Gordon Lightfoot's sweet but undramatic If You Could Read My Mind? Perhaps mortality is too much on my mind; a visit to my own aged parents has that effect. But hearing someone so strong, so confident and so eternal trying to create music when he is no longer strong, or eternal (I can't speak to his confidence, although I have my thoughts), it's hard not to mourn and to grieve and to wonder about our own confidence.

Perhaps that was the idea.
