This is a compilation I made for my wife some time back, and it is timeless for me, and most of the music is from the 1970s. Sweet, lively and/or just gorgeous, heartfelt melodies. If you enjoy, I suggest you check out I Remember and Hey Mama Wolf, also here on Mixcloud.

Comments
Some great finds in here! I'm curious why you chose the Cowboy Junkies version of "Sweet Jane" over the original Velvet Underground?
A fair question! I made the compilation a long time ago, but I think it's because I was making it for my wife and I thought she would enjoy this version more. Also, I'm not sure VU's more raucous version would fit quite as well in the context of this collection. If I were to revise the compilation again today there are a few changes I would make, but I never really do that! If you're curious where I have put some VU on my comps, you can check out In the Mind's Eye (an atmospheric collection with a VU obscurity) and Felicity (a comp I made for my son with some indie greats and indie roots). Thanks for listening!
