Top tunes I write by these days:
Aretha Franklin, “To Be Young, Gifted and Black”
Dixie Chicks, “Cowboy Take Me Away”
Eva Cassidy, “Fields of Gold”
“Down to the River to Pray,” on the songtrack for “O Brother, Where Art Thou”
Alison Krauss, “New Favorite”
Emma Kirkby, “Time Stands Still”
Joni Mitchell, “The Hissing of Summer Lawns”
The Original Five Blind Boys of Alabama, “I’ll Fly Away”
Queen, “Bohemian Rhapsody”
Come to think of it, I should rip a few more of these CDs gathering dust in the living room. John Fogerty, here I come…
