Sarah Mclachlan has been one of my long time favorites.
Lately I have been listening to:
 The Continental
Drifters, "Better Day." I am not a music critic, but
this album stands out in my collection as a masterful weaving of thoughtful
songwriting conveyed with genuine emotion. The album's break-up songs
play against each other in a way that paints the hope that was with
the disillusionment that is against the cautious expectation of what
is to come. The topic sentence for this album may be the first lines
of Vicky Peterson's "Na NA" (also the first song) "This
is the story of my life / Somebody's little girl to someone else's
wife / And what happened in between / Is the dying of a dream".
In a real autobiographical way, Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" can't
help but come to mind when you experience this album.
