We just returned from the 2008 Winnipeg Folk Festival. Every year we pick up around 20 albums from performers this year. We’ve gone entirely digital for our music now so this year I just did it all online after we got home. It’s nice to not have to rip everything. We got 19 albums this year, and there are 3 more that I can’t find digitally and have mailed the artists to see if I can get. Here are our picks for this year.
- The Beautiful Girls – Water, We’re Already Gone and Ziggurats
- Charlie Louvin – Charlie Louvin
- The Fugitives – In Streetlight Communion
- The Infamous Stringdusters – The Infamous Stringdusters
- Jakob Dylan – Seeing Things
- Jim White – Drill a Hole In That Substrate and Tell Me What You See, Transnormal Skiperoo
- JP HOE – The Here In Review EP
- Justin Townes Earle – The Good Life
- Little Miss Higgins – Junction City, The West Was Burning
- Martha Scanlon – The West Was Burning
- Ndidi Onukwulu – The Contradictor
- Old Man Luedecke – Hinterland
- The Red Stick Ramblers – Made In the Shade
- Spider John Koerner – Star Geezer
- The Weakerthans – Reunion Tour
Go gets you the Balkan Beat Box self titled. It is a perfect #20 from the pick of the litter by Queen Suzanne. I personally have reviewed the trax and can affirm their awesomeness.
Little Miss Higgins, best of the fest!
