#SongReview

“The Giver” is giving Shania Twain and I love it. 🤠🎻🪕🪩 #ChappellRoan has reached into her Midwest musical lineage and come out with a fun, danceable fiddle & banjo bop. This track does far more than “get the job done.” It’s #countrypop at its finest. Give it a listen.
A great country song uses a set of pre-established codes and signifiers in hopes of telling a new story, and “The Giver” proves Chappell Roan can do it handily

Bob Dylan’s tiny step of playing the electric guitar became a giant leap for folk. It’s difficult to imagine what American music would be like today without Dylan’s first steps. #folkmusic #bobdylan #electricguitar #folkrock #americana #telecaster

‘Rhythm’ has two h’s and no vowels.

Just remember:

Rhythm

Two
Hips
Move

Rhythm is also a dancer and a soul’s companion.

Carole King, possibly the greatest American songwriter, deserves a spot on the list.

James Taylor & Carole King - (BBC In Concert, 11/13/71).

First on my list is guitarist Claire Lynch. Her band from the 1980s, Front Porch String Band, is my earliest musical memory.
