I can't tell you how many hours go into preparing this list. I can only say that we are talking geometric progressions of time as opposed to, say, what I spend on the MVP Awards. My wife and daughters served as sounding boards in finalizing the list. My hope is to turn you on to music you perhaps haven't heard on your own. Consider it my holiday gift to you--whether you wanted it or not.
Me? I think I might be juggling a bit too many. But let's face it, television series have become really, really, good. And there's a lot of them. The problem…
Not since Jason Isbell's 'Southeastern' has an album featured as many good literate tunes as the new Josh Ritter album, 'Sermon on the Rocks'. We'll bookend this set with two of those great songs....

So much so that I'm writing about tonight's season finale.
If you're not interested in TWD, I understand. But if you are, share your thoughts, hopes, dreams in the comments!

Two great months of music in a row featuring both quality and quantity. This month features an almost-certain end-of-the-year Top 10 song, and several worthy contenders.
