Weary of what lies ahead in 2017. At least there's always the promise of new music. Happy New Year, friends.

2015 Favorites

Ended up with a large favorites list by year's end. Had a harder time than usual culling it down and keeping to my one-song-per-artist rule. Some albums (Kendrick, Isbell, D'Angelo, Lady Lamb) made it tough to pick. Anyway, hope you find something you like. Peace in 2016 - Rico
