Folk Roots Radio Episode 418: The Best of 2018 – The Next 15

Dec 28 2018

There are no interviews on Episode 418 of Folk Roots Radio as we check out more of our favourite albums of the year. We’ve already released The Top 10 on Episode 417 of Folk Roots Radio. This time around we check out The Next 15, featuring some of our favourite tracks from those albums. It’s a great privilege to bring lots of great music and interviews to you each week on Folk Roots Radio, something we’re looking forward to continuing throughout the next year. Listen to tracks from The Next 15 and check out the full playlist below.

As always, this is a very subjective and personal selection, and putting them in order is more about having fun and creating suspense than anything else. They’re also a fun way to reflect on a year gone by, and hopefully get people to check out some great music they may not have realized they like.

This list also only includes those albums that were received from October 1, 2017 until October 31 2018. We’ve previously used September 30 as the cut off for Best of the Year consideration, but with so much great music dropping in October this year, we decided to push the cut off back a month, from now on. If there are albums, you think I should have included, get in touch. Maybe they didn’t make them on to my radar, or perhaps I never received a copy of something I just have to listen to. Enjoy!

That’s all we have time for, this time around. Thanks to all the artists who share their music with us, and thank you for listening. We have a lot of great music and interviews to bring you on future shows. I hope you’ll join us!
