Stevie Nicks once said, "I'm gonna spend my life writing poems and turning them into music that'll affect people, touch their hearts. I'm going to write the songs that people can't write for themselves." This week's Needle Drop artist definitely writes songs that people can't write for themselves.

Raul Malo once said, “The similarities between the world cultures, that’s what we’re after. It’s one world, and music is one language. Whether you speak English or Spanish doesn’t matter. Music is inclusive and it is a universal language. I think now, more than ever, we need it.”

Surf guitar legend Dick Dale once said, “You know, music is sex. It's a sensual driving mode that affects people, if it's played a certain way.” I'm Kelly McCartney and this week's Needle Drop Record is... I think you'll agree, played a certain way.
