Drop Box Notes 2017-12-17

Posted on by

I know it has been awhile since I posted one of these lists of albums I believe are worthy of your valuable time to give a listen. There are approximately 25,000 albums released each year and that number is growing rapidly. But this list should give you a heads up to look in the usual place (s) to discover new things I honestly believe are worth giving a listening. Even the Miley Cyrus is actually pretty darn good.
