Under the auspices of SPINSTER, I curated a foodways themed playlist for Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (my old employer and first favorite record label!). With thematic connections to SPINSTER's recent release, Measure, Pour & Mixtape: Music for Cooking, the playlist brings together food songs from across the Folkways catalog for a sonic meal of snap beans, potatoes, cornbread, pie, singing turkeys, and more, paired with blueberry wine and served by a well-tipped waitress.
I also love the graphic by D. Norsen Design, which evokes early Chez Panisse and Moosewood signage, and connects to my inspirational motto for the selections: "What if Les Blank soundtracked a (another) foodways film."
Listen to the playlist here.
