My publisher and I were talking this morning about
Loveless (Marc's a great guy. I know he's got a million other things to do, but when I stopped him to ask what songs came to his mind while reading my book, he seemed to already have a few in mind).
Here's what the two of us came up with. Now, keep in mind that most of my childhood was spent in western Georgia, and I spent MANY summer days on the backwaters of the Chattahoochee, in places a lot like the area of Pine Top Lake. Also,
Loveless is a story of love, both lost and found, and what folks do with second chances.
“Honeysuckle Blue” –Drivin’ n Cryin’
“Take Me to the River” –Talking Heads
“Stormy Weather” –Billie Holliday
“If You Want Blood” –AC/DC
“Nightswimming” –REM
“Simple Man” –Lynyrd Skynyrd
“Chattahoochee” –Alan Jackson
“Possum Kingdom” –The Toadies
“When the Levee Breaks” – Led Zeppelin
“Black Velvet" – Alannah Myles
“Silver Springs” – Fleetwood Mac
“Love Should Never Feel Like This” – Alice Cooper
These aren't in any particular order, and are by no means the "end all, be all" of a
Loveless playlist. Your mileage may vary, and all that. So read the book, then tell me what we missed!
Until next time,
