Friday Playlist
A little different playlist this week, as about the time this posts, L and I will be on our way to Knoxville for a weekend of hoops. So here are a bunch of songs about the Volunteer State (and one summer song).
“Tennessee” - Arrested Development I think I shared this last fall when we went to Nashville. But as the greatest song ever about Tennessee, I must include it again.
“Jackson” - Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash Second-best song about Tennessee ever.
“Knoxville Girl” - The Lemonheads I had never heard this before, a song that goes back to the 19th century and has been covered countless times. Not sure it’s appropriate for a weekend centered on youth hoops. Hopefully L’s team figuratively murders their competition this weekend!
“Rocky Top” - University of Tennessee Pride of the Southland Band We are staying minutes from Rocky Top and playing a couple blocks from UT. This will be in my head all weekend.
“Constructive Summer” - The Hold Steady Don’t forget to build something this summer. And raise a toast to St. Joe Strummer.
