What many people think of as quintessentially patriotic songs are by male musicians (like Toby Keith, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson) so we've compiled a mix for the Fourth of July by oh-so-talented female musicians who also have a thing or two to say about the U.S. of A.
Enjoy!
Tracklist:
Cheerleader - St. Vincent
Super America - Bad Bad Hats
Fireworks - Mitski
Blue Jeans - Lana Del Rey
The Only Place - Best Coast
Catfish - Waxahatchee
Coming Down - Anais Mitchell
Independence Day - Ani DiFranco
American Boy - Estelle
7/11 - The Postmarks

& Estelle is English - the approach was to choose songs that referenced the U.S., not to choose songs from exclusively American artists :)
