Best albums, October 2009

Of the albums that arrived in the station in October, 2009, my favorites were:
  • Bonfires by Zoe Mulford
  • Where the Heron Waits by Betty and the Baby Boomers
Runners up were:
  • Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 by Leonard Cohen
  • Speak by Kat Eggleston
  • Big Mystery by Dana and Susan Robinson. On this album, I especially liked the song "Griselda's Waltz" a different perspective on the Cinderella story.
  • Whisepering Pines by Professor Louie and the Crowmatix
  • Blues and Branches by Harvey Reid
