TheCountryBlues.com celebrates acoustic, traditional blues so it is only fitting for us to also toot the horn of the best contemporary recordings. Each year terrific acoustic albums are released and we will bestow one the “Best Album of the Year Award”. The first recognition falls on bluesman Toby Walker’s superlative album “Shake, Shake Mama.” You can read the full review here.
Throughout this year we will keep our eyes and ears out for great new releases. Anyone can submit CDs or links to sound files for consideration. The only criteria is that it needs to be acoustic and released in 2012.
