In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My parents played their records. My brother and I would lay in front of the cinderblock sized speakers that had what looked like burlap screens. He the left, I the right. Together in stereo we'd listen to their music apart. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Ali Farka Touré, Ali Farka Toure Bob Dylan, Planet Waves Jean Ritchie, Jean Ritchie: Ballads from Her Appalachian Family Tradition These are records that I return to the most. I have many favorites but these just seemed to be the ones that I could name immediately without a single hesitation. They seem to share an essential quality - energy and immediacy of their performances. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Tell the Ones You Love, You Love Them” Every song that took little effort or time to write... They are my favorites because they seem to say things I was even sure I knew I wanted to talk about. This one took no time at. It's for my friend Cari, who I'll miss for the rest of my life.
