What I’m Listening To

Six Easy Pieces... Here are six pieces of music that I've been listening to lately. Because, when all else fails, music will save your soul.

1. "Dig a Pony." Take 14 from the newly released version of the "Let It Be" LP. Because I miss John’s voice

2. "Shaky Ground" by Malcolm Holcombe. Country music the way I like it — rough around the edges.

3. "Like a River." The duo known as Ocie Elliott proves once again that soulful roots music can also be Canadian.

4. The great Trinidadian soprano Jeanine De Bique performs Handel with Concerto Koln. Angels do exist. Here’s a teaser.

5. “You Was Born to Die.” Adie Victoria — with (of course) T. Bone Burnett’s help. New blues like it was meant to be sung and played.

6. Brahms’s String Sextet No. 1 . Because I just saw Louis Malle’s wacky, dreamy "The Lovers," which used the music very effectively. Brahms like you never heard him.
