Episode 74 - Juliet Fromholt & Taylor Ruckle with our favorite albums of 2022

 

Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2021, Juliet Fromholt joined me for a chat about our favorite albums of 2021.  I released that conversation the next day, 31st December, and it was Episode ½ of this podcast.  It was so much fun, I just HAD to have her back this year. Taylor Ruckle joins us for this conversation.  You might remember him from Episode 27 and Episode 43, where we talked about our favorite albums of the first and second quarters of 2022 respectively. 

All three of us are completely crazy about music.  You'll be able to tell how much passion we all share for music that moves us, music that confuses us, and music discovery. When we hear something that strikes the right chords - pun intended - it affects us and moves us in ways that might seem somewhat extreme to the average person. If you love music, this conversation is for you.  If you didn't get a chance to listen to all that many things that came out in 2022, this conversation is for you. If you have your own list of favorite 2022 albums, this conversation is for you. If you're not sure that good music is being made these days, this conversation is VERY MUCH for you. 

I didn't do all that much editing to this conversation, so you'll hear us say a lot of "uh" and "um", and maybe some awkward silences while we Google things, and some laughter.  I hope that you feel like you're among friends while you listen to us. Most of all, I hope you find something here that is new to you, and that you end up loving it.
