December 2011
It’s been a few months since I put together a list of the recordings I’ve been listening to most over the past few weeks. I’m ready to re-establish the habit. Here’s my list for December 2011. I’ve played multiple songs from each of these artists on my radio show, Ramblers’ Retreat.
- Hal Cannon: Hal Cannon (Utah)
- Utah Slim: Introducing Utah Slim (Utah)
- Spring Creek: Hold On Me (Colorado)
- Mia Edsall: Good Horses And Other Matters (Idaho)
- Blink: Blink (Norway)
Here’s a video of Hal Cannon performing “Alone Town.”

While there will undoubtedly be a number of musical tributes leading up to that day, This Land: Woody Guthrie’s America from John McCutcheon will stand out. Read my full review of This Land, watch a video of “Pretty Boy Floyd,” and listen to more music on RootsWorld.
