I figure if I start compiling my favorites through out the year, it will make making a final list easier. Not likely but here's my start.
Angeline Morrison - Are You Ready Cat?
Heidi Talbot - Angels Without Wings
Lady - S/T
Alice Smith - She
Kacey Musgraves - Same Trailer Different Park
The Replacements - Songs For Slim
New Order - Lost Sirens
As usual there are some records I still need to get a hold of yet i.e. Warm Soda.
Favorites from late 2012 still in heavy rotation
Sugar & The Hi Lows - S/T
Ian Skelly - Cut From A Star
Brian Whelan - Decider
Looking forward to the pending releases of E.Joseph and Phantom Heart, second Villagers album and The Musgraves from the UK
