Local Music From Out There

Podwireless has just dropped its Best of 2023 episode, featuring an hour of the year's best "folk and roots music and associated weirdos". Toppermost of the poppermost in this particular world is Shirley Collins with her excellent 2023 album Archangel Hill.

I am thrilled that Lankum's album False Lankum has appeared in every "Best of 2023" post on Metafilter. That album knocked my socks off. It's great that Shirley Collins is getting the spotlight.

I hate podcasts but I love folk and roots music and associated weirdos, so is there a transcript somewhere where I can get the list and not have to listen to the podcast?

jacquilynne, I didn't see a transcript but you can see their recommended CDs in their podcast shownotes.

The Shirley Collins album is great. The other one I'd particularly recommend from the Podwireless top ten is Hack Poets' Guild.
