Alt Country-Americana
- Hole-Tracy Grammer (When I think of Grammer's music, the first song that usually comes to mind is "Tanglewood Tree," with Dave Carter. If you're expecting that type of arrangement here, you're in for a surprise. "Hole" is forthright in its brave admissions and its dark accompaniment.)
- J.S. Bach: Cello Suite No. 3 in C major, BWV.1009 (Helen Callus, viola) (From the opening notes of the prelude, it's obvious that this piece for cello sounds just as lyrical on the viola.)
- Walk Between The Raindrops-John Pizzarelli (A good lounge-style cover of the Donald Fagen tune; it could segue with another perked-up cover, "Misty" by Richard "Groove" Holmes.)
- Song To The Moon-Andre Rieu (An elegant piece for violin.)
- Gemini Dream-The Moody Blues ("The Voice," the leadoff track from the "Long Distance Voyager" album, still gets the lion's share of the radio airplay today, but "Gemini Dream" deserves its due. There's a different energy on this track that's worth hearing.)
- Talkin' Bout A Revolution-Tracy Chapman (A well-stated acknowledgment that the deck of life is stacked against some people for no good reason.)
- (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher-Jackie Wilson (The original, fast version of this tune. Ten years after this was released, Rita Coolidge captured the late '70s pop music sensibility with a somewhat reworked version that was a huge hit. Both versions warrant airplay.)
