"Belle Starr" by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris. I don't know how to categorize the music, but the two voices sound great together. This song is my favorite on a pretty good album, All the Roadrunning.

"Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad" by Matt Dusk. Bono originally wrote this song for Frank Sinatra. It was the theme song for the short-lived reality show, "The Casino," which also featured Dusk. Dusk is a classically-trained Canadian singer turned crooner. Michael Bublé is a bigger star, but I like Dusk more - he has more of an edge to his voice and music. Dusk's debut album, Two Shots, is pretty good. Track 6, "Don't Go Looking," was recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and is a great song.

Antonio Salieri: Concerto for Flute and Oboe

Damn, RL - your theme song - Warren Zevon - Lawyers , Guns and Money - with an encore of Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner and Veracruz.

I know this is blasphemy here, but this song is too mellow for my tastes. Were I to jump out of an airplane, I'd prepare with Ted Nugent's Craveman.

Sunset Rubdown - They took a vote and said No. (This song always reminds me of my Iraq experience, and anyone who has been there will know why.)

I'd also recommend the first 2 Slowdive albums (Just for a Day, and Soulvaki), and I cant isolate it to one song, because, their best listened to as whole albums.

8th of November by Big & Rich.

All the Roadrunning is pretty good too. It's on the Dire Straits "Private Investigations" album.

If you like blues then R.L. Burnside songs should be on your playlist.

Bob Schneider-especially his live stuff like "Batman" and "Tarantula"

Vampire Mooose
ZZ Top-Mexican Blackbird
Flogging Molly-Expecially Devil's Dance Floor

Probably others later

Or any of the MANY patriotic songs in the country genre.

Loretta Lynn - The entire Van Lear Rose disc, particularly Portland, Oregon

It's a collaboration with a guy Jack White, from White Stripes - very gritty marriage of garage band and honky tonk. The woman rocks! I hope I'm like her when I hit my 70's.

This led me to exploring White Stripes' work. I'd recommend Blue Orchid, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground, and their cover of Jolene.

Yo Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, Mark O'Connor - Appalachia Waltz disc
