This Week's Playlist & Podcast
This
week on the Idiosyncratic History of Rock & Roll, we drew our playlist
from some of the artists and tunes mentioned by Amy Rigby in her memoir Girl
to City as being influential in shaping her own musical tastes and
output. It’s an eclectic mix of influences
as you can see from the list below, and by clicking here you can listen to a
recording of the full program. Amy Rigby has been a long time favorite, and a
mainstay on my playlists since I started doing my shows 20 years ago—her book
is highly recommended for both its insight into the author’s artistic and
personal development and its evocation of the music scene in downtown New York
at the end of the 1970s and into the 1980s.
