Shawn’s Favorite Albums of 2022

Thursday, December 22, 2022 By Shawn Underwood

It was a good year for music, both live and recorded. I heard some things pushing the envelope of an already large package called Americana. I heard some new takes on old songs and some old takes on new songs. I heard a few things that even though I knew what was coming, and looking […]

Thursday, February 03, 2022 By Shawn Underwood
