Best of ’06: Chilled, a Playlist

Tuesday, December 19, 2006 By Tom Osborne

album coverThis is the first of three playlists featuring some of my favorite songs of the year. I’m calling this one Chilled. It features songs that have a Folk orientation or are otherwise mellow. They are ordered to flow (not by rank) and limited to 20 in order to fit on a single CD. For song samples, an iMix is available on iTunes.

  • “Songbird” by Bernard Fanning
  • “Baby I” by Amy Millan
  • “Heal Over” by KT Tunstall
  • “Sister” by Jennifer O’Connor
