"Where She Told Me to Go" is my favorite song on "Carolina," which is my favorite CD of 2009. Good choice (for once!).
ReplyDeleteJust kidding! I think you've made one or two other good choices. None come to mind at the moment, but I'm sure they exist!
Angela Easterling's new CD is fantastic! I recommend anyone who has a chance to listen to it. "Black Top Road" in particular is very moving.
