I had a could of songs I wanted to use in a new Playlist and they both had Blue in the title – Willie Nelson’s Blue Hotel and Alexi Murdoch’s Blue Mind. Thought it might be fun to do an entire list of songs with Blue in the title. Did […] Read the rest

Influence of Joy : MyPlaylist20410
I originally made this playlist soon after I had taken my youngest daughter to see her first real concert – Robert Plant and the Band of Joy in The Woodlands. She loved it, and for me it was like Alt-Country Zeppelin.
There is one song from the Plant album Band […] Read the rest

Songs From the Year I Was Born : 1966
Here’s what Mark says about this playlist of songs from the year he was born : 1966.
Movie lovers generally agree that 1939 was the greatest year for movies. There’s no similar consensus on a best year for music. But I think 1966 would have to be in the

My Playlist : 20120
Ten years ago I was already listening to about half of these bands, half I hadn’t heard of yet. That’s one of the reasons I like putting these lists together – they’re a story of where you’ve been, where you are now and (perhaps) a little glimpse of where you’re […] Read the rest

DIR : The Jayhawks
I made some compromises here – all my Jayhawks favorites wouldn’t fit on one disk. So, I’ve included songs from all their albums to give a comprehensive picture of their music. But that means I’ve left off some of their great live songs in lieu of selecting my favorites. Anyway, […] Read the rest

My High School Musical
The songs on this list are from bands I saw live when I was in high school. And I can tell you, this ain’t no Glee list. I just laugh when my daughter gets so excited about the High School Musical movies on Disney Channel. I think the soundtrack of […] Read the rest

Jesus Rocks
I love it when rock ‘n rollers show a little faith. I hope they mean it, but sometimes I don’t think they realize how what they are saying translates to a person who believes. That’s why I included the Peter Gabriel song, In Your Eyes, on this list. I see […] Read the rest

My Playlist 10414
There’s a theme here, I think. I just can’t put my finger on it. Maybe there is even more than one theme. I don’t know. You tell me.

My Playlist 10104
This one of the lists that makes my wife crazy. It combines classical, jazz and some rock and roll. For me, it’s fun finding a convergence of all the different types of music I enjoy.
Hope you enjoy it, too.

Son Volt
Jay Farrar was in a band with Jeff Tweety called Uncle Tupelo. When the band broke up, Jeff started Wilco and Jay started Son Volt. I’m sure Wilco is the band you’ve heard of, but Son Volt deserves a listen, too. Problem is Son Volt is another band,
