I'll post my Best Of list at my blog later in the week, but at least 4 of your top 10 are also in my top 10. Our #1's are the same too. Nice to see Kathleen Edwards make your list after all. :)
great list chip! i just dont have the cojones to break down a top 50!
your top 10 is as solid as it gets (even without kathleen edwards ;-)
Hi, my name is Peter and i am a member of The Dogs. We are an indie/folkish band based out of chicago and we just released our debut album. Right now we are trying to spread the word around about our music, and we'd love it if you'd give us a listen.
you can download the entire album for free at:
www.thedogsmusic.net
or i guess you can listen at our myspace:

Enjoy
Very good almost all-inclusive list. I'd have added Emmylou - All I Intended & Patty Larkin - Watch The Sky.
On the minus side, I thought Tift M, J lauderdale & Band of Heathens were all sub-par.
But musical diversity is what it's all about and the list really is.
Very good！I like the blog , Thanks .
