This week on No Sleep 'til Sudbury we welcome Canadian Folk Music nominee and super cool lady Andrea Ramolo. She's currently touring her newest record Homage, a collection of Leonard Cohen songs, and she was good enough to take a few minutes to chat with me about the songs that make her skin vibrate.
Andrea is a self-proclaimed 'lover of the darkness' in music, and her playlist reflects it. We have an extended chat about Fleetwood Mac's drug of choice, the story behind her very personal album Nuda, the song she made a point of listening to every morning, whether music matters as much anymore, 'getting clear', and the brilliance of Ryan Adams. When she comes back, we're doing an all-Adams playlist. For real.
Ramolo's playlist:
Janis Joplin - Kozmic Blues
Jonathan Byrd - The Law and the Lonesome
Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way
I Will Give You Everything - The Skydiggers
Sam Cooke - Bring It On Home To Me
Glory Box – Portishead
Oh My Sweet Carolina - Ryan Adams and Emmylou Harris
Because the Night - Patti Smith
Nina Simone - Feeling Good
Kansas City - The New Basement Tapes
Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen
