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.

Some Classic Soul

There's something about Soul music of the 1960s and '70s. A lot of heart, and, er . . soul was poured into those tunes. A gastropub full of millenials and Gen-xers had a streaming-service-version of this music playing, but Mix Jedi does it so much better.

Thanks for the Dance by Leonard Cohen (2019)
Thanks for the Dance by Leonard Cohen (2019)

Cohen's final effort, produced posthumously, serves as a memorial to Cohen himself, and also makes for a satisfying late-night reflective listening experience.

Shadow on the Day by Jeb Loy Nichols & Jennifer Carr (2024)
Shadow on the Day by Jeb Loy Nichols & Jennifer Carr (2024)

You can’t get more back-to-basics than this. Take a piano, a singer, and a love song. Musicians have been doing it for centuries, and always will. But few handle it as convincingly as singer Jeb Loy Nichols, who is joined by his longtime associate, Australian pianist Jennifer Carr.

August And Everything After by Counting Crows (1993)
August And Everything After by Counting Crows (1993)

This album showcases the band's, and in particular Adam Duritz's, ability to tell a story with their music. They tap into everyday experience so simply, and yet so well.

Leon	Leon Bridges (2024)
Leon Leon Bridges (2024)

Personal songs delivered with a positivity that's sorely needed in 2024, wrapped in a retro-soul style with production that has the best aspects of retro and modern sound.

Haydn: Symphony No. 104 in D Major, Hob. I:104 - Minkowski/Louvre (2010)

The last of Haydn's London symphonies, this was composed during his second commission in London where he was enthusiastically invited to compose, perform, and enjoy his foreign celebrity.

Fifth Dimension: Greatest Hits (1969)
Fifth Dimension: Greatest Hits (1969)

This album is a time capsule. Songs written by professional song writers, tasteful arrangements performed well by members of the Wrecking Crew, and perfect pop vocals in all vocal ranges. Despite the factory-produced lineage, these songs capture a time and place in the late '60s and are guaranteed to make us all feel a little better after listening to them.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead (1970)
American Beauty by Grateful Dead (1970)

This is a band known for their live performances rather than their studio recordings. American Beauty is the clear standout among their studio output. Everyone in the band plays and sings; and sings well alone and together. The variety of styles and themes take you on an album-length Deadhead journey.

Schumann: Symphony No. 1 in B-Flat Major, Op. 38 "Spring" - Rattle/Berlin (2014)
Schumann: Symphony No. 1 in B-Flat Major, Op. 38 "Spring" - Rattle/Berlin (2014)

One of his most joyous, openhearted large-scale works, cheerful almost throughout. Written in less than a month, it was one of many pieces composed during his profound creative period following 1840 and his marriage to Clara Wieck, whom he has long-yearned for. Rattle's rendering is simply delightful.

Wild God by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (2024)
Wild God by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (2024)

This stands out as a more uplifting record in Cave's catalog, with recurring themes of love, loss, and spiritual reflection. The album's tone is both "joyous" and "unchained," reflecting Cave's reconciliation with personal tragedies. He makes use of poetic storytelling - balancing grand, emotional lyricism with grounded, everyday language.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix (1968)
Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix (1968)

The result is an album of interesting compositions and unequaled sonic coloring. Splitting time between sixties psychedelic epics and timeless blues jams led by one of the greatest rock guitarists ever. Further, many of the tracks on the album expand beyond the traditional sound of the power trio by featuring collaborations with a range of outside musicians playing an array of instruments.

Nordic Stew by Timo Lassy and Jukka Eskola (2024)
Nordic Stew by Timo Lassy and Jukka Eskola (2024)

What happens when Finnish horn players Timo and Jukka get bored one day and decide to fly to Louisiana to hire a real New Orleans rhythm section? There’s no need to wonder what it sounds like, because here it is. Timo Lassy and Jukka Eskola put it all down on record in the Tremé neighborhood, and brought the tracks back to Helsinki to mix.

Clifford Brown And Max Roach (1954)
Clifford Brown And Max Roach (1954)

A collaborative effort between one of the hottest trumpet players at the time and one of the genre’s very best drummers.Their true impact resides in the collaboration. This album is not flashy, but it is maddeningly consistent, and all five players perform exceptionally well. The jazz here is buttery smooth without delving into “cool jazz” territory, the ensemble works in a wonderfully unified way.
