Write On ~ Creative Writing Services

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

There is nothing more soothing to the soul than good music. In fact, the tunes you choose can set the mood for the day. Check out this funky and fun album by AJ Croce ( remember Jim Croce who sang Leroy Brown? Well, AJ is his son and musical talents are a chip off the ole’ block with a completely different stye)

Be sure to click this link to check it out & take a listen. A.J. Croce

Since I’ve been talking about business grooves, it seems appropriate to share some of my favoirte jazz grooves with you.

The Rock On~ selection of the month is, the People People Music Music album produced by Groove Collective and Hiroyuki Sanada. Expect the unexpected.

This month I’m feeling a little bit country. In honor of a dear and recently departed friend, Ron Hovey, I’m recommending Tim McGraw’s Live Like You Were Dying and Emerson Drive’s Countrified albums.

Check out the title track Live Like You Were Dying from McGraw because it reminds me that Ron had true spirit and embraced every day he had to the fullest even though he had no idea when his last day might be and Good Man from Emerson Drive because, well, the title says it all.

My current favorite is KT Tunstall Eye To The Telescope. I particularly like her raw acoustic sounds and am impressed by her fresh lyrics (most of which are written by her). Plus, call it a writers thing, I really like the freeform scribbles on the inside of her CD jacket (Okay, that may not have anything to do with the music, but I’m getting there).  In my opinion the best track is Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, but you decide.
