My Greatest Purchase of 2008

Rickie Lee Jones' album Pirates. 

It was exactly what I needed this afternoon, and as I sat on my couch wallowing in a weekly bout of self-pity, "We Belong Together" swept me off of my feet. And I wasn't even standing. It was as if I was slowly pulled [I have the image of warm taffy in my head] out of my bad mood by first having a dramatic, cinematic song play, and then as the A side continued, the songs gradually got more upbeat and by the last song, my ears were having a party.

Thank you Sarah Emily, for introducing me to this fabulous artist.

I would have to say that "We Belong Together", is in my top ten favorite songs of all time.
