Released In 2022 Discovered In December
Finally getting this playlist out for December, so you can groove around to it while you are sitting around a fireplace or a pool.
Music for each hemisphere.
And I dig this collection of tunes, if I have to say it aloud, well, I will!

Best Albums December 2022
They all come from Nashville but you can’t call them country and western.
Jason Carter-Lowdown Hoedown
Joined by Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, BillyStrings, Marty Stuart, and his bandmates from The Travelin’ McCourys to help with the picking.
Helping with the vocals are bluegrass and country luminaries like the aforementioned Dierks Bently and Billy Strings, plus Vince Gill, Tim O’Brien, Aoife O’Donovan, Sarah Jarosz, and Joe Mullins. He even has the boss man, Del McCoury, singing harmony on one track.
Sean Thompson’s Weird Ears-Sean Thompson-His debut record, give it a whirl. Cosmic country, but not that weird.
Los Colognes-The New World-Been 5 years since this Nashville Trio released a record. If you have not heard their other releases, check them out too!
“Anything that could get us out of our mental jail cells and into a creative flow was welcomed,” the group’s Aaron Mortenson said of how the song and album came together. “If anything, the entire record is a time stamp. We chose to create when we had no real idea of what was on the other side, and I’m glad we did.”
The end of the year has passed
Vibrations of love fill my soul
And I hope you have felt them coming your way
Hoping to continue healing my soul and keeping that heart of mine wide open
No slide rule or calculator needed
Just holding onto the energy within and sharing it with others
And connecting with the energy that is all around us
I hope you find joy, ecstasy, love, and beauty
In every breath, in every grain of sand
Open your hearts and minds
Let everyone in
If everything ends and nothing remains
All that will remain is love
