Well, this was an interesting month for Top Picks by listeners! Almost all of the Top 20 songs are by little-known artists that you won’t find on conventional broadcast radio. I caught a Chris Kokesh (no. 2) show at Sisters Folk Festival this fall and immediately had to have her album. She has such a sweet voice and interesting lyrics, too. And Arlan Feiles (no. 18) is a songwriter worth pointing out. I’ve never caught him live but his recorded work is very powerful. There is definitely something sublimely Dylan-esque about him.
Lindsey Yung (no. 16) and Will Edwards (no. 19) represent the San Diego singer/songwriter scene for us this month!
Thanks for voting! Thanks for listening!
