- “100 Days, 100 Nights” – 100 Days, 100 Nights. Much as I love “This Land is Your Land,” we should close with a Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings original. And of all the classics in her discography, there’s nothing more quintessentially Sharon than “100 Days, 100 Nights.”
- “This Land is Your Land” – Naturally. As a musical style, soul music has always been comfortable with adapting other genres—check out this classic Lee Moses deep soul rendition of The Mamas and Papas “California Dreaming,” which I can never promote enough.
