Read on for a playlist of contemporary favorites and beloved classics Sutherland curated for USA TODAY.

“A Boy Named Sue” – Johnny Cash

A perfect example of why I love country music. A dead straight lyric that tells a story both heartbreaking and funny. Johnny Cash’s delivery is priceless.

“Purple Rain” – Dwight Yoakam

Dwight Yoakam’s rendition of this Prince song is hard proof that a great song can succeed in any genre.

“Daniel” – Elton John

My oldest brother and I were separated when I was 7. This was the first song that I ever heard that I felt was written just for me

“If It Makes You Happy” – Sheryl Crow

I love the double entendre of the lyric in contrast to the punchiness of the track. Just a fantastic song.

“Louisiana Rain” – Tom Petty

Tom Petty’s descriptive qualities throughout this song always made me feel I was right alongside him. Perfect example of the poet and craftsman that he was.

“Love Needs A Heart” – Jackson Browne

I’ve just always found this song to be profoundly moving.

“Mainstreet” – Bob Seger

Incredible melody matched by his soulful delivery and a lyric that made me really feel like he knew what it was like to be 17.

“Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You” – Bob Dylan

There are so many elements of this song that I love, but at the top of the list is it immediately gives me a sense of freedom. Something we can never get enough of.

“Whiskey & You” – Chris Stapleton

Chris Stapleton’s vocal is beyond brilliant in this song. It makes you feel instant compassion for a man at a difficult time.

“You’re No Good” – Linda Ronstadt

This song always makes me smile. It would always make my father dance… the visual is worth it.
