Love Nu Genea so much!! They’re fun live, too. Had a huge band with them! Have you checked out the Napoli Segreta compilations from their label? So incredible.
Wow! 100 albums already! I'm curious as to how many times you listen to an album before you put it on your leaderboard. Each year I struggle with getting at least 10 that I can truly say were the albums that produced the most songs I'd listen to regularly.
Once I listen and if I enjoy it, I put it in the leaderboard, and I'm constantly tinkering the order all year in a pointless exercise upon relistens. I would say the top 25-30 get the most scrutiny from me, especially around Best Of season.
That makes sense. That end of year scrutiny is always stressful! I tend to focus more on songs than albums mostly because there aren't enough albums I regularly listen to in full in a year's time. I've definitely got several albums already that will likely make my Top Ten this year though.
I'm actually spinning my Lily Seabird and Alabama Shakes records on my radio show this Saturday morning! You've given me so many good recommendations that have made the way to the airwaves and I try to shout you out when I can! You should tune in on the WDRT app. 10am-noon live, or on the archive. Driftless Weekend show. Keep up the great work!

No I haven't, that's going to the top of the pile, thanks!
Love this. Saw the Shakes last night. Incredible and back in form.
So excited, catching them in St Augustine next month! Did they have an opener?
Mildred & Thomas Dollbaum are neck and neck for my AOTY so far
Yessir "Coyote" has to be up there for my most played song this year.

I'd love that, is that Eastern time? I'll be on a long drive then so that'd be perfect.
Central time so it will be 9-11 AM eastern if I'm doing my math right.
We're a local community radio station out of Viroqua Wisconsin.
I'd certainly appreciate a listen and have a safe drive!
I'll be there!
