An essentials playlist for Mike Doughty and Soul Coughing
My friend Jamie Phelps asked me how to get started with Mike Doughty. I grew up on his Soul Coughing band and solo work, so I said challenge accepted.
I created a playlist of studio songs I felt were emblematic of Doughty’s style, quirkiness, and amazingness. It starts with Soul Coughing greats, then launches into his wonderful solo stuff. I’m no music aficionado, so I’m happy to take recommendations for additions and changes.
You can check out my playlist on Apple Music and Spotify.
Sidenote: I don’t use Spotify, but I used SongShift to sync my Apple Music playlist there.
