Help me make a mixtape


Recommended Posts

I rarely post here, but y'all seem pretty knowledge about the music, so I'm seeking your input.

 

The theme here is singers-with-interesting-voices-supported-by-neat-orchestral-arrangements.

 

So far, I have:

 

Bill Fay - Garden Song

Randy Newman - I Think it's Going to Rain Today

Nico - These Days

Neil Young - A Man Needs a Maid

Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Love Comes to Me

Beatles - Good Night

Simon and Garfunkel - Old Friends

Leonard Cohen - A Singer Must Die

Joanna Newsom - Only Skin

 

Any other ideas?
