Another fun feature on my blog is the Rock On ~ section where I share music selections that I dig. Beware, my musical taste is quite ecclectic…. Each month I’ll share my current favorite with you and you can check it out to see if you like it, too.

Rock On ~ Joss Stone

By Lisa Manyon, www.writeoncreative.com

I am a HUGE Joss Stone fan and one of my favorite albums is The Soul Sessions. This lady has soul and her music speaks to mine.

It’s hard to pick a favorite track but currently I am grooving on I’ve Fallen In Love With You.

Personally, I think this is a must have for your music collection.

Listen to Joss Stone here~

Rock On ~ Tim O’Brien

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Fittingly, my selection for Rock On is titled “Traveler”. O’Brien was introduced to me courtesy of Ben Howard.

There is something about his style that speaks to me. My personal favorite on this album is called “Let Love Take You Back Again.”

Take a listen. I think you’ll like it.

Lucinda William’s Pettyesque style is inspiring. Her album, Car Wheels on A Gravel Road, features songs that she has either written or co-written.

Grab a copy today and let me know what you think about her style.

Rock On ~ India Arie

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

I’m in a bit of a reflective mood right now. When that happens I reach for old standbys from my music collection.

One of my all time favorites is India Arie. All of her stuff is great but this month I am into “Voyage to India” . Though it’s hard to choose a favorite song on this album, I must say I am quite fond of “Slow Down”. After the recent evacuation due to California fires, I am definitely slowing down and taking some time smell the roses.

You can’t lose when you add this to your collection. Check it out here.

Rock On ~ Ziggy Marley

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

Currently, I am thoroughly enjoying Ziggy Marley.

This isn’t a new release but the reggae message and beat is timeless.

The cover title Dragonfly is one of my absolute favorites and I think you’ll enjoy it too.

Rock On ~ Barbara Leoni

Monday, August 20th, 2007

Recently one of my dearest friends sent me a slide show of his incredibly cute son.

During the show, I was exposed to Barbara Leoni who just happened to be the background music of choice in the media presentation. I couldn’t get the tune Don’t Rain on My Parade out of my head.

So, I’m sharing it with you and I’m impressed. I think you will be, too.

Rock On ~ Susan Tedeschi

Friday, June 15th, 2007

I happen to be on a Susan Tedeschi kick right now and one of the things I love about the album I’m featuring this month is the fact that the lyrics are printed on the CD sleeve. This is a good thing for me because I love to read lyrics and very bad thing for anyone who happens to be around when I try to sing them

The Rock On~ selection of the month is, Susan Tedeschi’s Hope and Desire. It’s soulful and fun..

Another fun feature on my blog is the Rock On ~ section where I share music selections that I dig. Beware, my musical taste is quite eclectic…. Each month I’ll share my current favorite with you and you can check it out to see if you like it, too.Spring is in the air, the dogwoods are in bloom and blue skies abound. Speaking of blue, you cannot go wrong with a strong dose of the blues and no one belts them out better than the queen of blues, Etta James.

Check out her jams here ( I’ve included a link to my top three favorites):

Seven Year Itch

Let’s Roll

Blues to the Bone
