OT Storytelling Songs

Smackwater Jack

Carol King and Carly Simon may well be the best and most imaginative female lyricists and songwriters ever.

"Tapestry" is in my top 10 best albums of all...side A and side B. As fas as Carly Simon, "Another Passenger" is easily my fav of hers....side A and side B.

You got me beat! Though Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds is a better set of story songs!
