From songs about feminism and Marxism to a risqué Christmas song and the tale of a California-bound rock ‘n’ roll pioneer. She also selects two tracks that have influenced her writing process with their expressive lyrics. Sarah Vowell’s latest novel, The Wordy Shipmates, chronicles the 17th and 18th century history of Puritan colonists in Massachusetts.
