Last year I had the idea of doing an Americana Rankdown series, with rankdowns of some of my favourite artists who are either Americana artists themselves or likely to have fans of Americana music. I don't expect these to be huge or have a ton of people submit (though that'd be great!) but I thought it might be fun for those who like these artists, or would be interested in checking them out, but who might never have the opportunity to rank their songs in other rankdowns because, let's be real, they're not hitmakers.
There are five artists I've selected that I'd like to profile. I'm certainly open to adding others (or having guest hosts who might want to!) but right now, I have:
For Brandi, Serena and Kathleen, the lists would likely be made up of their singles - to keep it simple (plus a few popular/beloved/my favourite album tracks to round out the numbers). For Patty and Lori, it gets a bit trickier because they don't really have singles. I thought about focusing more on their songs that are known from covers by other artists, but for Patty in particular, some of her best songs (to me) weren't covered as far as I know, so I'd be open to song suggestions. I have made tentative lists already for each anyway, and I tried to ensure all of their albums are represented, but there's flexibility.
My intention is to do one at a time and the first rankdown will be Brandi Carlile!
So for anyone interested in submitting for this, here's the songlist:
Fall Apart Again
What Can I Say
The Story
Turpentine
Dreams
That Year
Dying Day
That Wasn't Me
Keep Your Heart Young
Raise Hell
The Eye
Wherever Is Your Heart
The Things I Regret
Mainstream Kid
The Joke
Hold Out Your Hand
Party Of One
Carried Me With You
A Beautiful Noise
Right On Time
Broken Horses
Deadline: February 28 (but flexible)
Send to: me -> Devil Marlena Nylund
Please copy/paste the list above and re-order from favourite to least favourite. You can number it if you want but you don't have to.
Song list revision suggestions: Monday, February 7 (if I'm missing a song you think is essential, let me know and we can consider adding it in - ensuring enough time before people start sending their lists in).
Goal: 10 lists would be super!
Feel free to make song suggestions for the other artists! Those lists won't be finalized until their respective rankdown.
