SISYHPUS TRACKS BEST CDS OF 2001 (January 22, 2002) - Mike Westerfield By this weekend, we've got to come up with our STIR Best of 2001 list. Whereas last year we selected 30 albums in 3 tiers of 10, this year we're cutting that in half - the total list will be just 15 albums. I'm asking each of you to choose the top 15 from the 30 candidates below, and then choose your favorite of the year. We've featured or played tracks from all of these on STIR between the winter of 2000 and now (see the RR Update for details on those currently featured), and are reprising tracks in the current Random Roots mix, as well. Various Artists, Avalon Blues: A Tribute to the Music of Mississippi John Hurt Various Artists, Poet: A Tribute to Townes Van Zandt Bianca, Outlaws and Lovers Vince Bell, Live in Texas Bob Dylan, Love and Theft Richard Dobson, Hum of the Wheels Fred Eaglesmith, Ralph's Last Show Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Together at the Bluebird Cafe Jeffrey Foucault, Miles from the Lightning Denice Franke, Comfort Merle Haggard, Roots Vol. 1 John Hammond, Wicked Grin Doug Hoekstra, Around the Margins Tom House, Jesus Doesn't Live Here Anymore Ray Wylie Hubbard, Eternal and Lowdown Jimmy LaFave, Texoma Leonardo, Urban Suite Delbert McClinton, Nothing Personal Bill Morrissey, Something I Saw or Thought I Saw Elliott Murphy & Iain Matthews, La Terre Commune Bob Neuwirth, Havana Midnight Oh Susanna, Sleepy Little Sailor Pierce Pettis, State of Grace Tom Russell, Borderland Danny Schmidt, Enjoying the Fall Jeff Talmadge, Bad Tattoo Eric Taylor, Scuffletown Greg Trooper, Straight Down Rain Gillian Welch, Time (The Revelator) Lucinda Williams, Essence Return to Press
