Just in time for Valentine’s Day…
Just as you were sitting there anticipating either the joys or anxiety of Valentine’s Day, Verve Records comes out with a compilation of the love songs for the forlorn entitled “When Love Goes Wrong: Songs for the Broken-Hearted.” This album features fifteen of the most thoroughly depressing songs ever recorded collected on one special CD. Throw in Aretha Franklin’s “Drinking Again” and you could call it, “Drinking Music – The Sequel.” I have a love for this kind of music but I could never quite figure out why especially since I don’t drink.

2. Born To Be Blue – Chet Baker
3. It Never Entered My Mind – Johnny Hartman

Somebody pass me a bottle of Seagrams and the Krispy Kremes!!
Love is a path to the heart that knows its own way.
