Every time we do a year end, best of list, we inevitably leave albums and songs off of our list. Sometimes it takes us months to hear those albums, other times, like this time, it takes us a day. Joshua Hyslop is an …

Artist Interview: Josh Wintrup
Josh Wintrup has a blues-influenced finger picking style that many people will find quite intriguing. He was kind enough to digitally “sit down” with us across the pond and answered a few questions about his music. We highly encourage you to check out …
Micah Turbitt – Oh Come Oh Come Emanuel
This is going to be the last Christmas song I’ll post this year, but I doubt it will be my last Micah Turbitt post. Every once in a while you run across someone so talented that you just sort of stop and let …
The Staves – Icarus
Awesome find by Greg on this one. The Staves are a very popular group in their native England, having played with Bon Iver and Fionn Regan. Their sound is sort of a slightly more mellow, female Mumford and Sons. It’s a cool vibe. …
Best of 2012: Greg’s Top 10 Albums
Albums might actually be more difficult to compile than best songs. There’s no easy way to determine one album as better than another. Instead, we make our judgments based largely in how we feel about a particular album as a whole. For me, …

Best of 2012: Greg’s Top Songs 11-20
This is an impossible task we’ve set before ourselves. Choosing songs that are “better” than others is futile. As I look at my already-limited list and try to make it smaller for this published list, I’m moved to emotion. Some songs make me …
Casey’s Top Songs of 2012: #10-#1
#10 – “Not With Haste” – Mumford and Sons I’m usually a fan of the popular songs from albums and I certainly understand why those songs are chosen as singles, but I love the lesser known tracks so much more. Mumford and Sons …
Casey’s Top Songs of 2012: #20-#11
Wow, this was a really, really hard list to make. There were so many great albums and great songs that to pick 20 seems insulting. To put them in an order is even worse. But, for what it’s worth, this is the first …
