Let’s talk turkey: Most Thanksgiving playlists celebrate pre- and post-prandial bliss, but the concept of thankfulness itself often gets short shrift. I adore food and dance-themed songs—Gore Gore Girls’ “Sweet Potato” and Little Eva’s “Let’s Turkey Trot” spring to mind—but this holiday mix excavates the real reason for the season with songs of grace and critique.
