 "The Best Of The Rest"

It is so hard to narrow down a whole year's worth of new music to fit into a 2 hour show. With that said, there are still many CD's from last year that I like and still could not get to on today's show. With a couple of exceptions all of the discs I played were released last year. The first exception was the Whitey Morgan track which was released in 2010 but was added to my collection in 2013 when I saw him perform at Sam Bond's where he will be again next week. My second exception is the "Hard Working Americans" which is not even in stores till later this month but was released to radio in December and was my number one choice for last month's FAR Chart.
