Förklaring till varför hon valde låtarna:
“Love and Happiness” (Track 1): “I felt like this song would set the tone. Love and happiness are the two most indefinable emotions, but I think Mr. Green did a pretty good job.
“The House That Jack Built” (Track 2): “This reminds me of my first apartment. I used to blast Aretha while vacuuming. I want Jack to build me a house.”
“The Woman In You” (Track 3): “I literally cried the first time I heard Ben Harper sing.”
“Brooklyn Zoo” (Track 4): “I grew up listening to rap/hip hop. It wasn’t until recently that I was even aware, let alone had an appreciation for other kinds of music. Wu Tang, Biggie, Nas, Tupac, you guys all have a special place in my heart.”
“Brown Trout Blues” (Track 5): “Johnny is a friend of a friend. I saw him play live, and it was an indescribable experience. Music like this just isn’t made by people in my generation anymore.”
“Top Yourself” (Track 6): “I just recently fell in love with Jack White. He doesn’t know it yet. I met him not too long ago at a show. All I said was “hi”, and then I hid in a corner.”
“There’s Gotta Be a Change” (Track 7): “I’m mixing blues with politics. Lets make it happen people.”
“Shine” (Track 8): “I wanted to put “The Man sings” but iTunes doesn’t have it. It’s “that song” that I used to play at maximum volume in my car over and over again. There was a time when I felt a deep connection with those lyrics. Now I just laugh when I hear it. All of her songs are amazing. I’m her biggest fan.”
“It Makes No Difference” (Track 9): “A song like this is useful every once in a while. So is a good cry.”
“You Got Me” (Track 10): “I don’t know why I love this song so much, but a friend of mine says is reminds her of the time we spent together in Russia.”
“Change” (Track 11): “My mom used to play Tracy Chapman in the car, driving around the block for 30 min when I was a restless little kid. It relaxes me, it reminds me of my childhood.”
“Jehovah Made This Whole Joint For You” (Track 12): “I tried to cover this song with my friend Sage. We recorded it on Garageband. To this day we still laugh even at the thought. I love it, but i’ll never attempt to sing it again.”
“Zealots” (Track 13): “I’ve probably gone through five copies of this CD. It’s just a classic one. Also, there was a time when I literally thought I was Lauryn Hill’s long lost identical twin. (No you can’t see any photos).”
