So I’ve thought a lot about how to present this list of 2010 Folk Favorites it could be a Top Ten of 2010, but that would leave out some great music I discovered this year! So I am calling it just Ten New Folk Favorites of 2010 in some cases their albums were released in 2010 others I listened to older albums! So here goes in no real order!
Ben Bedford – Land of the Shadows See one of my favorites from 2010 was released in 2009! For me this is an all around terrific album great story songs that are sung with passion!
John Wort Hannam – Queen’s Hotel This album won the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Album of the Year! It’s a great album and it took me a while before I found it at The Princeton Record Exchange! In the mean time I loved John’s first two albums Pocket Full of Holes and ‘Dozers and Dynamite!
Matt Harlan – Tips and Compliments – another fine album from a great young Texas songwriter.
Tim Hus – Hockeytown – a Canadiana Cowboy and a fine addition to my music library. I listened to and bought Hockeytown after listening and really enjoying Huskies & Husqvarnas.
Ernie Hendrickson – Walking with Angels – I listened to this album again the other night and really enjoyed it again and it needs to be in the rotation more!
I know that’s only five but if my other computer was in better shape and would have booted up maybe I would have gotten to all ten tonight, but now it’s late and I’m tired so we’ll save the rest for another night!
