The latest EP from Hohnen Ford @hohnenford has not stopped playing in my home since its release. This is some of that top-shelf, fancy songwriting you break out on special occasions: youtu.be/nJdursyoy4A?si…

@samamidon Wow, MANY years ago I saw Dougie Bowne play drums for Chris Whitley in one of the most influential concerts I’ve ever attended. Didn’t know he was still making music. Thanks for the rec!

I don’t have many regrets but one of them is that I never went to see Bobby Short perform at the Carlyle when I had the chance! “I Happen to Like New York” Live @CafeCarlyle: youtu.be/Ufi3xwtrZKk?si…

Leyla McCalla @LeylaMcCalla is one of the most exciting new (to me) songwriters working today. This terrific song was my introduction, but don’t stop there. Her entire body of work is as original as it is artistically ambitious: 'The Capitalist Blues' youtu.be/o6kHnUXHOo0?si…

“Is That All There Is?” written by songwriting greats, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, at their Leiber-and-Stoller-est. Performed by the incomparable @peggyleemusic (with an intro by Johnny Cash of all people). Nihilism has never sounded so good: youtu.be/F9pS7iZzNgQ?si…

“You Are There” by the legendary Johnny Mandel and Dave Frishberg is my current favorite song. Equal parts heart and sophistication, this song can teach you a lot about songwriting. More importantly, it can make you feel: youtu.be/JHdVaPjYlo8?si…

1) He never sacrificed meaning for the sake of cleverness. 2) His prosody is always perfect. 3) Guy was a genius.

Has there ever been a lyricist better at writing internal rhymes than Mack Gordon? He created these incredibly clever 2, or even 3 syllable ‘bonus rhymes’ and managed to make it all sound so effortless. There’s 3 reasons for this (cont’d below): Where Did You Learn to Dance | I Love Melvin | youtu.be/VGlRcTg9EMw?si…

If you ever want to hear what songwriting sounds like at the highest level, you need only play any song by practically anyone named McGarrigle and/or Wainwright. This one about Québécois lumberjacks in Maine is a particular fav: spotify.link/ZoexYaqjWMb
