“Top Seven Top Ten Discs of 2008”

In honor of Steven King’s "Top Seven Top Ten Discs of 2007” I thought I’d post my “Top Seven Top Ten Discs of 2008” as soon as I had seven discs that caught my ear, grabbed my attention, made my kids ask "Don't you have any other cds in the truck?". Why wait until the end of the year? For your listening pleasure, in non-aphabetical randomized order:

Peter Cooper “Mission Door”

Girls Guns and Glory“Inverted Valentine”

R.G. Stark “Not Crazy Tonight”

Rodney Parker and 50 Peso Reward “The Lonesome Dirge”

James McMurtry “Just Us Kids”

Roy Davis and the Dregs “Deadweight”

Danny Schmidt “little grey sheep”

Note: I hadn't heard of 6 of the 7 artists (who hasn't heard of James McMurtry?) before they sent their discs to HickoryWind. Thanks for the tunes and opening my eyes and ears to some really really good stuff I probably would have missed.
