The Beths

Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book

Ella Fitzgerald ·1956

"I love Ella Fitzgerald. Um, I just want to listen to her all the time. And um, the way that she sings everything and the way that she kind of approaches the melody when she's singing it where it's like it's respectful of the melody, but somehow even if she's singing it in the most basic way possible, it still swings incredibly hard."

Clot

Wax Chattels ·2020

"They have like one of our dearest friends in their band. She plays bass. She's an amazing person. They also have a very special drummer. There's a lot more going for them than just the drumming."

LIFTED or the Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground

Bright Eyes ·2002

"I think the songwriting really spoke to me in learning the songs. I think I was first learning guitar. Learning how the chords could be really simple and just kind of realizing that like for some music all of the magic, not all of the magic, but a lot of the magic is in the words and that that's like allowed."

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen ·1982

"Donald Fagen, The Nightfly. I really love this album. I grew up with my parents listening to like easy listening radio. Um, and this wasn't on there. This is like too cool."

The White Stripes

The White Stripes ·1999

"Fell completely in love with this band when I was in my mid-teens and learning guitar. It's so approachable, but it's so good at being a part of the lineage of music that led up to what the White Stripes are."
