Very Good Songs for 2017

December 31, 2017

I didn’t listen to a lot of new music this year but I did enjoy some very good songs that I compiled for you in a handy-dandy playlist available in two major music streaming formats. Have at it and buy their records! Godspeed to the legendary Glen Campbell, the mighty Tommy Keene, the inimitable Karl Hendricks, and my düde Grant Hart. Happy New Year.
