Worth a Listen focuses exclusively on independent artists and songwriters whose music has emotional impact regardless of recording or production quality.

James Hurley’s new CD release, The Sun and the Moon, has just become my top pick for a feel-good-take-my-troubles-away album. This is acoustic-based Adult Contemporary music that has definite Blues and Jazz flavors with a little Folk and Rock thrown in for good measure.

“I wrote the songs on this CD during a very difficult, challenging time,” Hurley says. “Though they touch on experiences like loss, isolation and insecurity, they all share a positive outlook…”

Track pick: “One Fine Day” - the perfect song about being glad to be alive.
