patti Smith's "twelve" and a johnny cash/leonard cohen mix, along with a mixtue of buddhist chants and Eno&frip ambients to go to sleep by.
Days later, anmd I am still listening to this mix of Johhny Cash. What a fabulous talent and range he had. It is really hard to beat his voice, his story-telling.
I've never been a huge country music fan, and I don't know if that is even the right genre for this guy... I've heard him cover depeche mode, nine inch nails, and many other artist's songs. He takes those and utterly owns them. They aren't covers any more; they're Johnny Cash songs.
I wish I'd paid more attention when he was around.
I think maybe the mark of the great is that they do What I described. Janis owned the songs she sang; they became hers. I feel the same way about Patti Smith. I love these voices with texture; Marianne Faithful's "ballad of lucy jordan" or "the witches' song" Leonard Cohen, John Gorka, Dave van Ronk on St. James Infirmary, Hamilton Camp on Pride of Man, Firewater's album "songs we should have written". I am just a sucker for those kind of vocal depths.
I'm not casting any stones at the original artists, just saying that there is a level of genius displayed by a few. Degustibus non disputandem est.
Hope all your horses win in your dreams.

Kind of a mix of everything....
Praise and worship music is always a given.
The "usual" Switchfoot, Kutless, Big Daddy Weave, Rush of Fools, Jeremy Riddle, Casting Crowns, and some others...
Then there's still Linkin Park (when I'm in the mood for them), Green Day, and other "high school" stuff (in my case)
Also older stuff like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Aerosmith, REM, Tom Petty, Cadence Clearwater Revival, Lynord Skynard, (sp?) some stuff from the Forrest Gump soundtrack and the like, Plus classic old stuff like The Beatles, the Eagles and many others.
Transiberian Orchestra is always good too.
I've also gotten into some quieter stuff, some Spanish guitar stuff, Celtic stuff, and even some country, but shhh....don't tell anyone. LOL
