LISTEN: Mountain Man’s Valentine’s Day Playlist, “Crying Time”

For Valentine’s Day, we asked the mighty, harmonious Mountain Man to make us a playlist—and they chose “Crying Time” as the theme. In these 22 tracks, they crisscross from Alanis Morissette to SZA, from John Prine to Annie Lennox, from Frankie Cosmos to Charlie Feathers. It’s itself a testimonial to the hybrid sensibility of the Appalachian-oriented acts that form a big chunk of Big Ears’ 2019 programming—and to the playful, song-centric taste of Mountain Man. Enjoy, and Happy Valentine’s Day.
