Soundtrack for Hard Times
Chicago Public Radio's latest project "Hard Working" posed the question on their blog late last week: What songs belong on a recession-themed mix tape? They've got some solid starters, but it got me wondering what would the slant of this mix? Would you want bluesy, soulful tunes or peppy mood lifters?
My vote: "Welcome to the Working Week" by Elvis Costello

My vote goes to "Hard Times" by Baby Huey. It's bluesy and soulful with a peppy, mood-lifting beat.
