What songs do you listen to while cooking Thanksgiving dinner?

I like Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie and Everyboday Eats When They Come to My House. It's fun for the kids too :)

A little Dwight Yoakum, a bit of Reverend Horton Heat, and to round things out, some Preservation Hall Jazz.

ok don't judge. I've played Pandora's Michael Buble holiday radio all week long. BUT today I discovered Leon Bridges (via Son Little - they are touring together), so I made a Leon Bridges Pandora station and it is rocking my ever-loving world! Try Leon Bridges' Smooth Sailing, or Brown Skin Girl. So good. Son Little's Lay Down is MAGIC.

ONE song!? This is a great thread with cruel restrictions ;)

I think once I'm two beers in I'll be breaking out the Christmas music. I also just got back from New Orleans and have all of their local musicians jamming in my head. It may not be seasonal in the traditional sense, but it's energetic and soulful, so I think it fits the hectic mood in the kitchen quite well.

From my NOLA playlist, three vastly different songs:
Birds Fly Away - Theresa Anderson (the live version on Youtube is killer)
Fire Down Below - Valparaiso Men's Chorus
A Good Night - Brass-a-Holics

Iron Maiden's Run To The Hills feels appropriate.

This year Adele and Sam Smith.

The Subdudes are my standard motivational music - Late At Night, Social Aid And Pleasure Club, All The Time In The World - there are loads more but that is my alloted three :-)

I don't have anything specific for Thanksgiving, but I usually have country or bluegrass on when I'm in the kitchen. Or, more recently, Jack Johnson because my son is obsessed with the Curious George movie.

I usually classical it up. If I'm fighting the endless amount of chopping I have to do for my husband's favorite stuffing recipe (which he swears he can't live without) - parsnips and apples and celery and onions and on and on and on I usually do a little Mozart's Requiem since it's nice and angst-y there in the first bit. I usually mellow out by the time the mashed taters and gravy comes along at which point I switch to choral music. A little Ode to Joy, a little Brahms. The Christmas classical channel on Pandora usually has some good tunes to hum along to. And yes, I know it's not Christmas yet but I love the holiday music and it gets me all warm and squishy feeling.

Christmas. Kicks off the season.

My go-to music to cook by is Jazz, especially anything Joe Williams. But I may start my holiday music cycle early this year. I love holiday music. Of course, there's always Joe Williams' holiday CD... :)

This has nothing to do with Thanksgiving, but Henriette or Bobby Tanqueray by Lake Street Dive has been getting me going in the kitchen lately. Pretty much all of their stuff gets me moving.

I always listen to Frank Sinatra while cooking. I occasionally use the wooden spoon as a mic.

Alice's Restaurant. It's a family tradition.
