These are the songs which will make up a new CD I’m going to bring home for my dad:

1. Robert Plant . “Central Two-O-Nine”
2. Rogue Wave . “I’ll Never Leave You”
3. Joshua James . “Mother Mary”
4. Band Of Horses . “Bartles + James”
5. Basia Bulat . “The Shore”
6. Uncle Tupelo . “Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down”
7. Sharon Van Etten . “I Wish I Knew”
8. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club . “Sweet Feeling”
9. Low Anthem . “The Horizon Is A Beltway”
10. Camera Obscura . “Country Mile”
11. Fleet Foxes . “Sim Sala Bim”
12. Sufjan Stevens . “Chicago”
13. Wanda Jackson . “Shakin’ All Over”
14. Junip . “Don’t Let It Pass”
15. Soulsavers . “You Will Miss Me When I Burn”
16. Decemberists . “January Hymn”
17. Middle Brother . “Blood And Guts”

My predictions: he will love Robert Plant, Uncle Tupelo and Wanda Jackson songs, and possibly the Fleet Foxes as well. He will not care for Junip or Basia Bulat (though my mom might, as there’s autoharp involved) or Sufjan Stevens. He will want to like The Low Anthem but he will hate the guy’s voice too much.
