This doesn't seem like it should be difficult, but I've been noticing that Alexa can be a bit wonky about commands if they're not worded quite right.
As far as I know, there's no way to start with a certain track.

I just conducted an experiment to see how long the "resume" command works to restart music where you left off earlier:

I said "Alexa, play Big Christmas Box."
Then "Alexa, pause (or stop)."
I asked for the weather and set a short timer.
Two hours later, I said "Alexa, resume."
The music started where it left off.

So, it may be possible to resume play after quite a long interruption (as long as you didn't give other music/audiobook commands in the interim).

Here's a list of Echo music commands: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=201601830. Perhaps there's something there that'll help you (or someone else).
