Good music is rarely complicated. I’m looking for a song, a story, a voice, and a presence. You can call it Americana, country, or roots music. On this list, I’ve picked a collection of songs that have followed me over the years. Some are new, most are old. It’s music for celebration, love, sadness, and comfort. It is music that does not complicate things.
