News Round Up: 2009 Top Picks
It’s the end of a year and the decade (yikes!) and besides my own best of 2009 list I offer you some like-minded blogs year-end lists to round of the great selections of the year. There is some overlap but enough differences to make them worth a look for additions to your own list of music to check out. You can tell by many of the blogs breaking the top 10 mold and offering top 20 that it was a great year for Americana and roots music. Feel free to add your own as a comment below.
