Rock: Think & Relax

Socrates (who may have been the world's first hippie) once said “the unexamined life is not worth living” and I think sometimes even rock fans need to slow down and take stock. Here are some of my favorite folk-rock, jam rock, boogie rock, classic rock, and singer-songwriter songs which usually help to put me in a calm, reflective mood. These songs are timeless, soothing, and give me space to think and relax. They make me want to take a long walk or drive in the country or, better yet, put my feet up in front of a warm fireplace on a cold winter night. Enjoy!
