TOP 10 ARTISTS I WANTED AN ALBUM FROM, by Merritt Martin

I heard tale of studio work, was teased with demos and was both impressed and seduced by live performances of new material from these folks.

1. Record Hop

2. Pleasant Grove

3. Sean Kirkpatrick

4. St. Vincent

5. Dove Hunter

6. The Great Tyrant

7. Blood on the Moors

8. 100 Damned Guns

9. Shiny Around the Edges

7. "Barrel Riders"
