242 Mississippi / Tennessee State Line

  1.  Mississippi / Bob Dylan I first heard this song, covered by Sheryl Crow, about 25 years ago.
  2. My Tennessee Mountain Home / Dolly Parton
  3. You're My Home / Billy Joel, live at the Bayou, Washington DC, July 1980. Found this song via the new Billy Joel documentary. This recording is from his album Songs In The Attic.
  4. Little Trouble / Better Oblivion Community Center (aka Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers)
  5. Uncle John's Band / Grateful Dead could be CSNY with the gorgeous harmonies on this song.
  6. Eight Days A Week / The Beatles including this classic as part of my ongoing effort to balance new music with songs I already love, and songs that never appeared on a playlist before because they were too 'popular' - remember, for the first 10 years of my playlist-making, I was listening to the radio, so I didn't need to include popular favorites on my tapes.
  7. Someday / learned this Strokes song to play with my dad band
  8. Houses Of The Holy / this Led Zeppelin song was easier to play on guitar than I imagined!
  9. It Hasn't Happened Yet / Rosanne Cash a cover of the John Hiatt song
  10. Stupid Thing / Aimee Mann played this oldie at her concert in Deerfield this summer
  11. Alone / Heart, seen recently in a Mom Meme
  12. You Can't Take Love For Granted / Bought a pile of Graham Parker LPs last year, just getting into his music...
  13. Oh No! / The Decemberists
  14. She's An Angel / They Might Be Giants
  15. Sunshine Of Your Love / I was big into Cream in the late 1980s at my high school radio station. It's possible I put this song on a playlist circa 1988, before my "numbering" system began?
  16. They Want EFX / Das EFX
  17. Slipping Away / Rolling Stones
  18. Borderline / Madonna
  19. That Voice Again / Peter Gabriel
  20. Paranoid / Black Sabbath
