Best Of 2008

We Own This Town makes no qualms about embracing its subjectivity. With that in mind, each of our contributors were asked to choose 4 – 5 songs from the past year that they felt rose to the top and they’d be compiled into our final podcast for the year of 2008. We are pleased to report that this compilation does not encompass all of the great releases from the past year, just many of our favorites. Download it, listen to it, enjoy it, save it as a time capsule for 2008 or as an introductory mix for people wondering what Nashville has to offer. Please feel free to use the comments to point out any glaring omissions, we’ll take a lack of comments to mean that everyone loves the mix and agrees as to its inclusion of entirely superior music.
