New Music Machine Favorites of 2013 presents:

New Music MachineNew Music Machine Favorites of 2013

The days are getting shorter, lights are everywhere – it's time for WRIR DJs to make their yearly favorites list.  This year seemed harder than ever to wade through all the great records, but that's not really a problem it is.  So tune and check out some great records from the past year.  Trends?  Lots of guitars, lots of great lyrics, a couple of great sidemen, some old favorites and some astonishing debuts.


Not to mention, I'll be starting with a record from 2012 that is so good it deserves a mention even this year.
