In the Song Series, I explore songs that have achieved iconic status, great songs that had the misfortune of getting stuck on crappy albums, wonderful songs that somehow escaped public attention, unusual juxtapositions of song and topic, and other songs of cultural significance.

At least that’s the idea . . . I have a feeling that my intentions will morph over time.

• “The Best” – Bonnie Tyler, Tina Turner, Noah Reid
• “American Pie” – Don McLean
• “The Rodeo Song” – Garry Lee and Showdown/Gaye Delorme
• Anti-War Songs: Edwin Starr – June Tabor/Eric Bogle – Dire Straits
