Soft Rock
"Soft Rock" is my favorite oxymoron. Yet, there's nothing like a dose of low- to moderate-intensity songs from the rock era that feature a nice variety and skillful songwriting.

Album Stack
Here's the top of the Mix Jedi album stack. These are the albums recommended by our curators. Feel free to listen along with us.
I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got by Sinéad O'Connor (1990)
Here are flinty, quick-to-anger songs powered by outrage and indignation, and, significantly, a touch of hip-hop backbeat. O'Connor's dramatic turn-on-a-dime vocal performances cover topics from stormy relationships with parents, friends, and uncaring lovers; approaching each tune like she's poised for a confrontation.

You Got My Mind Messed Up by James Carr (1968)
A detailed account of what happens to a man consumed by love. The under appreciated Memphis singer delivers noble and heartfelt elaborations that rank among the most intense in all of soul. He should have been famous were he not overshadowed by other soul titans of the 1960s.

An Afternoon in Norway: The Kongsberg Concert by Art Pepper (1980)
In 2025, any new music from Art Pepper is a cause for celebration, as this alto sax legend died 43 years earlier. After a while, you assume the legacy is complete and the cupboard is bare. And then something like this falls into our laps: A late career recording that is one of his best, despite the hardships and health challenges he was dealing with at the time.

Liszt: Les préludes, Symphonic Poem No. 3, S. 97 - Solti/Chicago (1974)
This tone poem by Liszt is programmatic, emotional, and virtuosic. This award-winning performance by Sir Georg Solti renders it in all its glory.

Kashperova: Sonata for Cello and Piano, Op. 1, No. 1 in G Major - Levi/Edward (2021)
Over a hundred years since her composing career, Leokadiya Kashperova is finally being brought to a modern audience. This delightful Sonata is one of her earliest compositions and flows with romantic simplicity.

Fun & Games by The Connells (1989)
This is perhaps the best all-around set of songs that The Connells have put together, and a great introduction to their music for the new listener. There's actually quite a variety and on the whole Fun & Games is just plain fun to listen to. This is a band that has gone without acclaim, and though many people have labeled them pop, they are certainly a cut above that category. There's more talent here, both in songwriting and musicianship.

Flowers by The Rolling Stones (1967)
After a string of albums in the 1960s that showcased the bands roots and influences with a sampling of covers, Flowers is the band's first pop-rock-songwriter masterpiece, featuring the depth of Jagger-Richard songwriting. All songs are written by them with the exception of one Motown cover, and the most of the songs are classics.

Power To The People by Joe Henderson (1969)
This isn't one of those "topical" album titles jazz musicians slapped on instrumental works in hopes of instant relevance. Henderson had thought about what "power" is, and his originals focus on quintessential jazz manifestations of it. He suggests that an individual's power is less about brute force than elasticity.

The Beatles White Album (1968)
Born in a poisonous climate, The White Album documents the painful fraying of the Beatles, the moment when the musicians retreat into their own zones to do their own things - with or without help from the others. While there's a great degree of brazen experimentation, there's also plenty of striking quintessential Beatles music, and it remains many fan's favorite Beatles album.

Stand Up by Jethro Tull (1969)
A fantastically multifaceted and lighthearted album. The band toys with various styles and tries to inject the tired and true blues formula with some vitality and originality. They draw inspiration from a wide spectrum of genres, ranging from classical, to blues, folk, and even Indian music.

Schumann: Cello Concerto in A Minor, Op. 129 - Capuçon/Haitink (2019)
There’s a chamber-music-like intimacy and introversion to the account of the Cello Concerto. Capuçon’s impetuosity and thoughtfulness are complemented by Haitink’s lifelong engagement with this music. Capuçon provides the best of both worlds, creating a profound sense of a lone figure lost in his thoughts during the first two movements, before suggesting an emotional rejuvenation in the finale. Bernard Haitink and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe follow him every inch of the way.
