Every year thousands of new recordings are released. We get hundreds for The Sing Out! Radio Magazine. We only get to present a very small fraction of them on the show. This week we’ll listen to some of my favorites that we’ve featured on the program and some that fell through the cracks. The focus this week is on Singer/Songwriters, Bluegrass and Blues.
