Desert Island Discs
We spend a lot of time driving up and down the M5/A30 between our home in Wiltshire and our van in Cornwall. I like to mix different sets of songs for each journey. I started thinking about what my “Desert Island Discs” choice would be – the 8 songs I’d most like to have if ever stranded on that mythical island. Here is my choice -
Blue – Joni Mitchell
Reason To Believe –Rod Stewart (great version of the Tim Hardin song)
Song For Whoever – Beautiful South
Moondance – Van Morrison
No Woman No Cry – Bob Marley
Echoes – Pink Floyd
Haitian Divorce – Steely Dan
Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather – Dervish (great version of the Bob Dylan song given a traditional Irish twist)
Riders On The Storm – The Doors
Patience Of Angels – Eddi Reader
Now I know that’s cheating and you’re only allowed 8 but to be honest I found it hard to whittle it down to those 10. Tomorrow I might come up with a quite different list, but I think Joni Mitchell would always top it.
Does anyone else have a “Desert Island Discs “ selection?
