One of the most touching hip hop jams - you can almost see the poverty he’s describing in front of you. The “I love you mommy” line from a real G hit’s hard.

This entire album is a song cycle of heartbreak - if you’ve never heard this Sinatra album, do so now.
Bonnie Prince Billy and Cheyenne Mize covering Merle Haggard. Just perfect.
Not as slow as others, but still evocative af

I’m going to re introduce this one from one from another thread on TP that was originally uploaded by our esteemed Balearic_Clapton. Another tune that I had not previously come across and another pivotal tune in my recent life. This vintage video adds to the themes of this one.

Always loved this song, it has a gorgeous, warm, wistful feel with lyrics about longing for an escape to a different life that’s out of reach

This entire EP is just stunning, but on this track, the pedal steel by BJ Cole combined with the shimmering Grid production and Billie’s voice is just perfection.

Sandy Denny recorded several versions of this timeless classic - with The Strawbs, with Fairport Convention and as a solo artist. This is the version for me.

A solid sender from DB
I could have included almost any of Cleo Sol’s songs here. My love for this woman’s voice knows no bounds.
