"My 3 Songs" for Monday

Posted at 2:34 PM on November 3, 2008 by Steve Seel (1 Comments)

"These are three ecclectic covers which change the entire feel of the songs to suit the style of the musicians perfectly," writes Jacob Stoesz of San Diego CA. "A funk cover of a Woodie Guthrie song; Will Oldham covering classic Springsteen; and a reggae band covering country. It's all so perfect!"

1) Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, "This Land Is Your Land"
2) Tortoise and Bonnie Prince Billy, "Thunder Road"
3) Toots and the Maytals, "Take Me Home, Country Roads"

Thanks Jacob!

Now, be listening tomorrow for our special Election Day edition of M3S, put together from all of your suggestions ...

OK - I don't know if you're still accepting these but if you are... I would really like to suggest the following songs for the Election Day My Three Songs:

1. America the Beautiful. OK its obvious but its also the most beautiful version of the song I've ever heard.

2. You Haven't Done Nothing - Stevie Wonder (I know you asked for non-partisan and Wonder wrote this about Nixon but I think it speaks to the general frustration of voters during this election year. Plus --it is super funky and has an awesome horn section)

3. America - Simon & Garfunkel. Its just a great song and makes you feel patriotic.
