My mom’s voice has the same range as Mary Chapin Carpenter–“He Thinks He’ll Keep Her” and “Passionate Kisses” are perfect songs imo.
I love Down at the Twist and Shout. I think that’s my favorite song by her. Conway’s Slow Hand and Lay You Down are favorites as well. I still remember swaying back and forth in front of the old floor model tv to the music video for Tracy Lawrence’s Texas Tornado. Old Flame and Forty Hour Week by Alabama, Why’d You Come in Here Lookin’ Like That by Dolly, and John Deere Green by Joe Diffie are regulars on my playlists.

Ooh that song they did with Linda Ronstadt ‘Memories’ I think it’s called. So good. How do you feel about Ricky Skaggs? Uncle Pen is one of my faves as well. And Patty Loveless’ cover of You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive gives me chills.

Not a specific artist, but I like my Pandora Skyrim station that has a bunch of background music type stuff on it. It’s literally made to be background music for video games so it’s good background music for work. It has music from The Last of Us (video game), Assassin’s Creed (video game), and also Lindsey Stirling mixed in there.
If you haven’t come across Lindsey Stirling yet, she has a mix of violin and electronic dance.

I listen to soundtracks all the time while working! Mostly movies. Some of my favorites are Stardew Valley, Arrival (actually anything by Johann Johannsson, RIP), and a playlist I made for older movies called Late Night TCM Binge lol.
