Top 20 Songs on Acoustic Pie Radio, January 2010

I was tickled to see that listeners voted Acoustic Pie Featured Artist Amber Rubarth into the no. 2 spot this month!  We have a return visit by Kelly Mulhollan (no. 5) who gathered votes with his beautiful erotic love song “Desert Dream”.   Seeing two Don McLean songs (no. 7 and no. 11) makes me a very happy camper.  As a lot of you know, Acoustic Pie was named in homage to Don McLean and his “American Pie”  because, at the age of 12, American Pie was the first album I ever bought with my own allowance money.   I didn’t appreciate its simple depth and sad beauty at the time but over the years “Empty Chairs” (no. 7) has come to be one of my favorite all-time songs and is one of the longest running songs on Acoustic Pie having been in the rotation since the station started in 2002.  I’m glad to see you’re not tooooo tired of it yet.

Alex Woodard with his great country love ballad “Reno” is representing San Diego artists at no. 6.  That’s the talented San Diego native and Nickel Creek girl Sara Watkins singing the duet with Alex.

Thanks so much for voting for your favorites and for listening to The Pie!
