Hi, Wormheads!
I’m happy to share with you a bonus playlist of some of my favorite songs by “family” bands and artists.
This was inspired by my July ReCOWmendations post, where I featured six of the below twenty artists. If you didn’t get a chance to read that, click below.
And if you’d like to receive these bonus posts and playlists sooner, why not become a paid member?
ReCOWmendations -- July 2023: 6 Musical Artists For the Whole "Family"
While writing part 3 of the allergy trilogy last week, for a section about my uncle Robert (who was ordained as a monk the day I was born), I did a Google search to find the best translation for his Buddhist name, Samanera Bodhesako. What appeared at the top of the results page, stunned me.
The criteria for inclusion? Artists’ names must include word/s such as family, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, fathers, mothers, etc.
Simple as that. As there are zillion brother/sister bands out there, I kept those to a minimum. Sorry, the Jonas Brothers are not in the mix.
For those not on Spotify, a YouTube playlist is below as well.
I’d love to know what songs you especially liked and what essential bands/artists I left out.
Have a great week!

And if you like discovering new music — newly released as well as older tunes that might be new to you —
is a great Substack to follow and subscribe to. Every Monday he shares a new playlist and invites readers to leave comments on the songs and artists that left an impact the previous week. There’s a ton of other musical goodies there too.
Are there any songs here that stand out for you?
