1. THE FELICE BROTHERS: Through These Reins & Gone
– local Hudson Valley guys made the best music I heard all year…several live shows really showcased their Band/Dylan influences. big things lie ahead for them.

2. BOB DYLAN: Modern Times
– what can one say? blatant rip offs from Muddy Waters aside, a brilliant, fun, insightful ride. (local reference- rented out the Bardavon to write and jam for a week)
