It is harder than it looks! Picking five artists out of all the ones I love was tough enough, but then narrowing down (or conjuring up) five songs was even worse.

Yes--with most of them, I could just put down half their work. It's a nice reminder, though, of the songs you really love the best.

As I read this the psychic random music setting came up with "Sequel" by Harry Chapin which is a sequel to "Taxi".

Folkies of the world, unite!

In the narrowing-down, I decided to go with the stuff I'm really listening to now. It's so hard to limit it to five!

OMG! Dar would definitely make my Top 5 too! I didn't know you were a fan :)

She's a brilliant lyrcist--Thomas and I both really love her.

I first saw her in Ann Arbor when she opened for Arlo Guthrie! I have all of her albums, including Cry, Cry, Cry (a collaboration with Richard Shindell and Lucy Kaplansky).

Thomas's ex put us on to her years ago. We have a tendency to pull up the Dar playlist on long drives home, and sing along passionately--or discuss the lyrics like we were in English class. She was in LA last fall, and about six of us from the barony went to see her, at a little club across from Canter's.

We have the Cry Cry Cry album, too--The Ballad of Mary Magdalen just killed us, but we prefer James Keelaghan's version of Cold Missouri Waters. Are you familiar with him?
