Blue Jean Rock Poets V – Part 1

One of the best things about singer-songwriter music is its timelessness which usually makes it good for all seasons and occasions. Few artists besides Paul Simon have songs at the ready to be played following a national tragedy (9/11, Sandy Hook) and whenever I feel hurt, lost, or just sick and tired of music, I turn to the big names in singer-songwriter. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!
