Hi,
I've done a few themed collections of songs during the newsletter's history as a normal email but hadn't done one since the move to the web site. But it occurred to me that I should really find a way to highlight the music of Jason Molina, an artist who's really important to me and who we sadly lost 8 years ago. What I've ended up with isn't meant to be a coherent "playlist" per se, and I won't be adding any of it to the running playlists I keep on Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube.
What I'd recommend you do instead is listen to the previews in the story at the top of the page and see if the sound of any of the songs appeals to you; Jason made use of a variety of solo/band arrangements and audio recording fidelities over the course of his career and his vocal delivery matured significantly from the earliest days of Songs: Ohia to his later work under his own name. If you find something that sounds good, follow the link in the list below the story (you can use the logos in the footer of the page to make all the links go to a particular streaming service-- and it will remember those choices when you visit in the future) and check out the album/EP it came from. It's a rich, rewarding catalog to get into. I hope you enjoy!
