This morning‘s show was a recap of my favorite releases from 2020. Today’s playlist started out with some folk, singer-songwriter, and country tracks, then went into a (loosely) experimental/new age block, and at the stroke of 7AM kicked off the metal portion, ending on a little mixed bag of songs with relevant themes for this transition between years. Thanks for listening and Happy New Year!
