Vivaldi's Four Seasons or Bach's Brandenburgs always lighten my mood. Musically I'm mostly just an old folkie but there's not a lot of stuff I like that you'd call mood enhancing!
 
Willie Nelson - Phases and Stages (1974) is another one that was recorded wonderfully. It's not one I hear about all that often, but geez is it ever an album that feels warm and cozy under a blanket in front of a fireplace popping and crackling. One that understandably could give ease of mind.

The Oscar Mayer weiner/bologna songs always cheer me up too. But you have to sing along.

Singed I got a great giggle from the barber clip :ROFLMAO: I am a huge toneloc fan and it was probably only in the last few years I could understand his reference to OMW in that song being from Australia. I knew it had something to do with a wee wee but yeah :LOL:

If you like shanties, have you tried The Dreadnaughts? They’re one of my favorites.


This has been a recent favorite.

I have a really eclectic music taste, but some of my recurring favorites are Colter Wall, Tom Waits, First Aid Kit, Ben Caplan, Willie Watson, The White Buffalo, Dave Stamey… I could go on and on.

Maierar I never in a million years though I would be into classical but was on a property as ringer/farmhand way way outwest many years ago and had bugger all music and a thing came in the mail for a monthly subscription to a 10 CD classical music collection. I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it and also put it on sometimes now to chill, loved that clip cheers.

I read once that violin music had a higher megahertz that causes us to be more alert, etc. I have used it when driving to relieve fatigue and it helped.

I use to play violin music when I did my calculus and statistics homework.

Somehow it helped. Of that I am certain.
