Chip’s Best of Americana 2022

Thursday, January 05, 2023 By Chip Frazier

Chip’s Best of 2014

Wednesday, January 07, 2015 By Chip Frazier

As usual it was a tough year to pick the top albums. This year was particularly tough; in that there were a number of top notch releases, but no clear standouts. Thus the conundrum, how to separate albums that are all deserving and uniquely their own. Here is an attempt to rank my top ten. […]
