Some albums don’t just sound good — they shape you. These are the three records that completely rewired how I think about songwriting. Neil Young for the simplicity and fire. Dylan for the melodies that hide poetry. The Jayhawks for the harmonies that hit like a heartbeat. I wouldn’t write the way I do without them. Drop SONG below and I’ll send you the first track from The Great Lands — it’s my little love letter to those kinds of records. | The Great Lands
