James "Skyy Dobro" Walker’s
Top 60 Songs and Top 30 CDs for 2010

Notes:
A. This compilation comes from 2010 CDs that crossed my desk. There were many good ones I did not hear. For example, of the 10 Grammy nominees, only 4 came to my listening post.

B. Over 218 Blues CDs were issued in 2010 from at least 120 different record labels, not including independent and self releases. I personally reviewed 47 discs for “Blues Blast” and encountered over 150 CDs in 2010. (Note: A few released late in 2009 did not reach me until 2010. They are too good to go unmentioned.)

C. The basis for my choices is completely personal enjoyment and does not reflect sales. All 60 songs received airplay on “The Friends of the Blues Radio Show” on WKCC (www.wkccradio.org)

D. I get CDs by: (1) purchasing (2) given to me (3) sent to me for review by TheBluesBlast.com (4) received at WKCC radio station, Kankakee Community College, 100 College Drive, Kankakee IL 60901.
