Routes and Branches Play List 12/31/11

On the eve of a new year I played some of my favorite releases of 2011. This year since I am now a contributor to The Freeform American Roots Chart I put together my favorites show from the list I posted to the chart with a few additions like I extended my top Album list to 11(for 2011) from 6, and I added a NW Local category for artists from the northwest. Of course my list is longer than what I can fit into a two hour radio show, so first is the play list of this week's show followed by my entire list of favorites from 2011.
