So, we know they aren't doing individual sets on this tour, but there are songs off their solo albums that could make it into the setlist. The most obvious one is "Graceland Too," which features Lucy and Julien's vocals. Lucy's "Going Going Gone" also makes sense, as multiple artists (including Phoebe, Julien, and Mitski) were on backing vocals for that song.
Solo: Songs and Collaborations 1982 - 2015 includes tracks from Thorn's four solo albums: A Distant Shore (1982), Out of the Woods (2007), Love and Its Opposite (2010) and Tinsel and Lights (2012). In addition there are also songs that featured on the 2015 film soundtrack "The Falling".
Thorn announced details of her new album at the beginning of October 2015, saying "These tracks represent, on one hand, the moments when I was working as a solo artist outside the constraints and democracy of a band, either recording tracks entirely by myself, or at least being in the driving seat, the one making all the artistic decisions. And on the other hand, those times when I guested with other bands or producers, performing as a featured solo singer, moonlighting from my regular job."[3]
Herewith, in no particular order, my totally subjective solo road trip playlist. Some of these were my choices, others were mentioned so often when I asked readers and friends for suggestions, that they had to have a place on the list.

This is a lovely diverse selection of songs which will give solo singers, and as the book suggests, unison choirs, some beautiful additions to their Christmas repertoire. My initial reaction was that these were all arrangements of existing choral pieces; however, I think some have been newly composed as solo songs in their own right (but OUP may correct me on this).
Corey Taylor kicked off his solo headlining tour last night (May 2nd) in Reading, Pennsylvania, and the crowd was treated to several standout moments. The singer and his backing band played a career-spanning setlist that included Slipknot classics, Stone Sour standouts and several songs from his solo catalog, including the debut of two unreleased tracks!
The songs, titled "We Are the Rest" and "Beyond," are from Taylor's upcoming sophomore album, CMFT2, the follow-up to 2020's CMFT that's due out sometime later this year. Neither track has been released as a single yet, but as Blabbermouth notes, "Beyond" was originally performed in 2009 by his Junk Beer Kidnap Band, and has been re-worked for the forthcoming solo record.

Rather than do a straight-up ranking of my favorite McCartney solo songs, I decided to take a different approach. Everyone has their favorite McCartney Beatles songs, so I picked a few of those and offered some suggestions of his solo songs that would be a good next step.
Before Monday's concert, listen to these to get a good sense of the depth of McCartney's solo career. Through the past 45 years and more than 20 albums, there have been songs that stand alongside the best of his Beatles output, and these songs are a good start.
McCartney must really like birds. This song from Band on the Run is a funkier version of Blackbird. You can almost feel the song taking flight in the chorus. A saxophone solo and good backing vocals make it even more interesting.
McCartney is known for his love songs, but this one is a little less conventional. It's a love song for children and their fathers. "If there's a fight, I'd like to fix it. I hate to see things go so wrong." The words are more poignant now that I'm a father, and the melody is beautiful, too.
McCartney went back to the 1980s, and if only it had been released in the 1980s, it would have been a major hit. There is a synthesizer solo in the middle, which I'm pretty sure is a McCartney first, as well as an addictive guitar hook and great bass line. But this is McCartney - of course there is a great bass line.
In typical McCartney fashion, the thing that stands out the most about this Band on the Run song is its bass line, which anchors the melody. Some great harmony vocals, and occasional guitar licks take it to the next level and make it one of the best songs on an already great album.
My pick for best solo McCartney song. It was released just as I was becoming a big fan, and everything about it is perfect. The vocals, the lyrics, the harmonies, the melody, the orchestration provided by George Martin and the drumming provided by Ringo Starr. This is a Beatles song through-and-through.
One of the weirdest songs of McCartney's career, this track from Memory Almost Full is about a man - or is it a cat - that refuses to come down from a tall building or tree. McCartney takes the deeper voice of a fireman calling for the person (or cat) to come down, then takes a higher voice for the subject threatening to jump. At the end, a spinning-music affect makes it sound like the subject jumped, while guitar hooks throughout the song convey stress. Simply genius.
Nobody is better at turning two completely separate songs into a cohesive track. See McCartney's middle-part contribution to "A Day in the Life" as an example. The above song from the Tug of War album transitions from a heavy-guitar on the complaints on the state of the financial markets into a vaudeville-style bit. It all works well and is very Beatle-esque.
Starts as a callback to Queen, then into a funky multi-layered song with pianos, guitars and a tambourine. Wished it was released as a single, but there were a lot of great songs on 'Chaos and Creation' to pick from.
"Dreams," of course, is merely one of the countless classic songs she's written and recorded since "Buckingham Nicks," an album with then-boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham that set the wheels in motion for Mick Fleetwood to extend an invitation to the duo to join the band.
Here's one unapologetically subjective countdown of her greatest songs, including several tracks by Fleetwood Mac that have gone on to be reclaimed by Nicks as staples of her solo tours, from "Rhiannon" and "Landslide" to "Dreams."
Released as the lead single from her "Rock a Little" album, "Talk to Me" is one of Nicks' biggest solo hits. It spent two weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and peaked at No. 4 on Billboard's Hot 100. It was written by Chas Sanford, who'd co-written one of the previous year's big rock hits, John Waite's "Missing You." Nicks has said she didn't like the song at first and struggled with the vocals. But you'd never know it to hear her lean into those high notes on the bridge, powering through "Do I seem all that hard, is it all that tough? Now, I've searched through all my cards, well, isn't that enough?" with a grittier vocal than we're used to hearing from her.
This song clearly held a special place in Nicks' heart. Not only did she choose it to open her solo debut, but she also named the album after it. In an interview with Rolling Stone tied to the album's release, she talked about the title track, a deeply moving portrait of a beautiful woman who's so tired, she disappears. It's "basically a warning to myself and a question to others," she said. "I'm 33 years old, and my life has been very up and down in the last six years." And what Nicks ends up telling herself is "Come in out of the darkness."
There's a reason this became the biggest hit she's ever written, from the timeless melody to the way she hits those high notes on "It's only right that you should play the way you feel it," a line she follows with a withering "But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness." The production is flawless, the vocal sublime, the overall effect as timeless as pop music gets. It concerns the end of her eight-year relationship with Buckingham, whose job was then to come up with the perfect guitar arrangement to accompany the venom in her lyrics "in the stillness of remembering what you had... and what you lost." In an interview for "In the Studio with Fleetwood Mac," Nicks said, "I can remember how hard it was for me to play 'Dreams' the first time for the whole band, because I know it would probably really upset Lindsey, and probably really upset Chris and John, and probably really upset Mick and really upset me. And if I could even get through it I'd be lucky." Fortunately, she got through it. And continues to get through it as a highlight of her live performances both solo and with Fleetwood Mac.
After splitting away from Garfunkel, Simon was determined to become a superstar in his own right, picking up where he left off with songs that had much more nuance than what he was up to in his early years. Although you can hear the seeds of his musical alma mater in his early material, Simon gave us more than a few surprises along the way.
As well as his standard folk-rock roots, Simon used his solo career to flex his creative chops, either writing about topics that no one had heard before or incorporating elements of jazz and world music into his sound later down the line.
In 1984, Simon found himself in a downward spiral of depression as his marriage to Carrie Fisher deteriorated. During this period, he became fascinated with the positive energy of a bootleg cassette of mbaqanga, a collection of South African street music. Inspired, Simon set off for South Africa to record his seventh solo studio LP, Graceland.
