A Fiona Apple Playlist

If I had to recommend just one Fiona Apple album, it would be Tidal. Or Extraordinary Machine. Or Fetch the Bolt Cutters. Or The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do. Or When The Pawn Hits The Conflicts He Thinks Like A King What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight And He’ll Win The Whole Thing ‘Fore He Enters The Ring There’s No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won’t Matter, Cuz You’ll Know That You’re Right. Heck, all of her albums deserve a home in your collection. Hopefully today’s playlist demonstrates why.
