Lee’s Favorite Songs 2024
Lee’s Favorite Cover Songs 2024
Soulful Songs from Abbey Lincoln to Al Green, avoiding the most obvious and famous songs.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the great gospel singer and guitarist and rock and roll foremother. She should be more well known than she is.
Nanci Griffith. This is a career retrospective from the great folk-country singer songwriter who passed away recently.
Wanda Jackson. The great rockabilly and country singer guitarist has a new record out produced by Joan Jett. I like it, but not as much as her earlier work in this playlist.
Julie London. I admit to having a crush on Julie London, the cool and quietly soulful jazz and standards singer from the 195os and 1960s.
Big Stir Records and Power Pop Favorites. Recent, sweet rock songs from this Los Angeles indie record label.
Power Pop Classics Sweet-as-sugar melodies and big, crunchy guitar — two great tastes that taste great together.
Silvio Rodriguez Favorites The great Cuban folk singer, beloved throughout Latin America.
Betty Wright Playlist The great soul singer passed away. She is best known for the song Clean Up Woman.
Take Me Back to the Range: Selections from Western Jubilee Recording Company Nothing is more comforting in these times than these gentle songs about wide-open spaces.
Prince: The Complete Collection
Joe Ely – Love in the Midst of Mayhem This underrated Texas Americana singer and songwriter’s new album is timely and moving.
The Clark Sisters My favorite songs on Spotify from one of my favorites: this gospel singing group.
John Prine Playlist A collection of songs from this late, great national treasure.
