So many months ago, a good friend requested 4 songs on her radio station, I can't remember the reason, and so I did, but my response was "Wow that's hard to narrow down, how about 4 bands beginning with the word Black?" Obviously this went down well, so I started sending her, every week for her show, 5 artist I liked beginning with each letter of the alphabet.
What you have here is a slightly expanded version, these are 6 of my favourite artists and songs per letter, I hope you will take the time to give each a listen, and enjoy them as much as I do.
