This week, Roz Glynn unravels the mysteries of folk and soul:
Joanna Newsom – Sawdust & Diamonds
The Crystals – He Hit me (and it Felt like a Kiss)
The Smiths – Sweet and Tender Hooligan
Iron & Wine – Boy with a Coin
The Shangri-Las – Leader of the Pack
Raiding my parents’ CD collection before I came back to university produced some great 1960’s pop and soul which explains The Crystals and The Shangri-Las -classics. My growing fondness of folk, and love of distinctive female
voices, is why Joanna Newsom takes pride of place on this playlist, with Iron & wine being another of my new found alt-folk favourites. Then there's The Smiths, but well, everyone loves The Smiths!Joanna Newsom, 'Ys' album artwork: Benjamin A. Vierling

I love Joanna Newsom. She is brilliant and original - 'Ys' is one of the best albums I've ever heard!
