Here are the Top 20 songs on Acoustic Pie Radio for May 2008. Listeners vote while the songs are playing online, my host Live365 compiles the votes, and I report them at the end of the month :)
Have I mentioned Tom Kimmel before? My gosh, he has such a beautiful voice and is also a favorite songwriter of mine. This particular album Light of Day (no. 17) is unbelievably magical, my favorite of his to date. It is compiled of selections from his “working tapes” ~ the versions of the songs that he recorded, just him and his guitar, shortly after the songs were written in order to have a record of them. Check it out at (um-hm) my favorite record store CD Baby.
There are two San Diego artists in the Top 20 this month: Jason Mraz at no. 4 and Randi Driscoll at no. 15.
Thanks for reading, thanks for voting, and thanks for listening to Acoustic Pie!
