Kathy Mattea - Where’ve You Been?
Here's the story,
Of a man named Brady,
Who was busy with three boys of his own.
They were four men,
Living all together, but they were all alone.
Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,
and they knew they was much more than a hunch.
That this group,
Must somehow form a family.
That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch,
The Brady Bunch, the Brady Bunch
That's the way we became the Brady Bunch.

Turisas’s “The Great Escape”.
(As an Orthodox Christian with Norwegian ancestors from the Vik, I’ve gotta love a song about Vikings in Constantinople, even if the lot in the song are headed for home!)
David Bromberg’s “watching baby fall”, I think this is one of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard, but if you’re a parent I think it’ll get to you.

Though I can’t stand his politics,I love the stories his music tells. This Jimmy Buffett song is one of my favorites...
“He Went to Paris”
...”Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he’ll smile and he’ll say
Jimmy, some of it’s magic, some of it’s tragic
But I had a good life all the way.”
“The Ballad of John Henry” and “The Ballad of Ira Hayes”.
I’ll break the rules and go with an Album that told a story:
The Who, Quadrophenia. Do I still get a hug?
