Inspirational Music

One of the biggest changes in my life is when I changed the music that I listened to on a consistent basis.  While I love many different types of music, I found a real transformation take place when I moved from "just listening to anything" to purposefully listening to music that had a solid message behind it.

The radio station I listen to while in Dallas is KLTY-94.9FM.  It has a great mix of music that is family friendly to boot.  I miss it on the road so there are times when absent of my iPod, I stream KLTY into my hotel room.  If you're interested, you too can stream KLTY-94.9 FM.

When I have my iPod, it's even better because I have created some playlists with my favorites.  Thanks to my son Taylor for helping me find such a great cross section of styles within these inspirational songs.  You can find virtually everything in here from hard rock, to rap, to easy listening--what a joy!

Here are a couple Top 25 playlists (merged together) of what I listen to while working out, flying or anytime when I need something good coming into my head.  If you click on the underlined song titles, you can even hear (or watch) a sample of each song so you can test them out for yourself.  Enjoy!
