5 Albums I Can’t Live Without:

1

Tea for the Tillerman, Yusuf/ Cat Stevens 

Beautiful songs that remind me of my late father.

2

Youth Novels, Lykke Li 

Takes me back to touring days and playing it on headphone loud in the 2010’s – incredibly creative production.

3

Sketches of Spain, Miles Davis 

I play this when I cook in the kitchen, just iconic isn’t it. 

4

Some Girls, The Rolling Stones 

Without trying to be clever, no explanation needed. It’s just magic. 

5

Bringing It All Back Home, Bob Dylan 

It’s the only album that used to get my son Julian to sleep. I would rock him to sleep every night to this, and I couldn’t do this list without something from Dylan on it.
