Here are some of the songs that were mentioned on the recent episode:

This was the song Alicia would pair with the drinks we had.
Alicia’s first taste of success, “Magma” was released in 2019, and picked up by Starbucks to play in their stores.
“Blackbird” may have been the first track that caught my ear, back in 2021.
“Tennessee” is her most recent release, featuring Lucinda Williams and John Paul White.
We talked about a few covers of hers, including this version of Jane’s Addiction’s “Jane Says.””
Here’s a link to her Spotify profile.
