Desolation Angel Thursday October 11th, 2012

Desolation Angel family, friends and neighbors. 2012 has been one of the best years for music that I can remember since sometime in the mid-70's. Some fantastic music has come out, and this is just an overview of some of the best of the best so far this year. Truthfully, it's pretty complete, since there's only 4 albums left that I'm looking forward to; Wanda Jackson, Jamey Johnson's tribute to Hank Cochran, Cody Canada & The Departed's Adventus and Gary Clark, Jr's new one. What's on this playlist isn't the only music I've heard that I think is great, not the only great albums and CD's to come out, it's the music that throughout the year has stood out as some of the best work I've heard this year:

• Ray Wylie Hubbard - South Of the River
• Shooter Jennings - Daddy's Hands
• Ryan Bingham - Never Ending Show
• American Aquarium - Casualties
• Chris Knight - You Can't Trust No One
• Waylon Jennings - Goin' Down Rockin'
• Uncle Lucius - Somewhere Else
• Lincoln Durham - Last Red Dawn
• Justin Townes Earle - Baby's Got a Bad Idea
• Jason Eady - AM Country Heaven
• Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard - A Horse Called Music
• Lucero - Sometimes
• John Fullbright - All The Time In The World

As always, thanks for being part of what we do here. Please go buy these artists CD's straight from their websites (truthfully, there isn't a lot of it here you can find at your local big box store). Share this site and this show as many ways as you know how. I produce it myself, and don't charge for it, and keep it on the air by funding it myself with no commercials and no sponsors. All I ask of you is that you share it; by e-mail, using the little Green Share button below, using FB, Twitter, Google + and telling your friends. Remember that Desolation Angel Radio can be found every Tuesday and Thursday night at 8 Eastern/7 Central on the Outlaw Radio Chicago network as a live nationwide broadcast, and the podcast is always here and can be subscribed to in iTunes. Support your local musicians and go see someone live and local, who plays originals, this weekend. Kip
