Kathy’s Song (2000) – Eva Cassidy
While researching my previous article on Eva Cassidy, I came across her beautiful cover of Paul Simon’s Kathy’s Song and was enamoured with it. It showcases her signature acoustic guitar fingerpicking and pure, emotive vocals. When I hear her voice,…
Skeleton Tree (2016) – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nick Cave is widely recognised as one of Australia’s most influential indie music exports, and he is back again with the title track, Skeleton Tree, from his 2016 album of the same name. I covered a lot of music from…
Watermark (1988) – Enya
Watermark is my joint favourite Enya song alongside A Day Without Rain. These two soft piano pieces are nearly indistinguishable, so much so that I often confuse one for the other. When I listened to Watermark this morning, I was…
Waterloo (1974) – ABBA

Watching The River Flow (1971) – Bob Dylan
This little bluesy rocker from Dylan certainly kicks the day into gear with its toe-tap-inducing rhythm, screeching guitar and saloon bar piano. And wouldn’t you know it? This was recorded in 1971 at Blue Rock Studio in New York City.…
Watch Me Gone (2024) – Mark Knopfler
Watch Me Gone delicately weaves between a graceful and subtle Celtic melody something Mark has long been partial to in his solo work, and a pedal steel guitar that conjures atmospheric images of breezy air and open terrain. It’s a…
