This season’s favorite spins so far: (in no particular order)
Sera Cahoone: Deer Creek Canyon
Beth Orton: Sugaring Season
Tift Merritt: Traveling Alone
Shelley Short: Then Came the After
Black Prairie: A Tear in the Eye is a Wound in the Heart
The Avett Brothers: The Carpenter
Neil Halstead: Palindrome Hunches
The Flatlanders: The Odessa Tapes
