Mia Dyson is one of those people I could talk with all day. It’s not just the timbre of her voice, it’s her stories; filled with pinch yourself moments and gratitude for the experiences she’s had. Her last album was recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals studios in Alabama, a place where Bob Dylan, The Stones, Aretha Franklin and many more have layed down songs. It’s a place where the sound, and soul of the surroundings fill every recording and for Mia, it was a bucket list moment. I wanted to know what else was on that list, which experiences had made her head spin and her heart soar. Across songs from Bonnie Raitt and Jimi Hendrix, Little Feat and Ralph Stanley, Mia took us into some beautiful moments from a life of music.

Jimi Hendrix - ‘The Wind Cries Mary’

Bonnie Raitt - ‘Love Letter’

Jackie Marshall - ‘Excuse Me Mister (That’s My Heart)’

Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys - ‘Gloryland’

Little Feat - ‘Willin’’
