TLDR: We put together 8 hours of great music from 2022 and decided to simply share it all. Enjoy!

This episode of the show we may have gone off the deep end a little bit. You see, in years past we’ve put together a playlist of some of our favorite songs of the year and then let the ole iTunes select 15 to 20 tracks as a representation of the year. There was always a massive playlist to pick from but it seemed like playing every song was just too daunting of a task.

…But this year, we decided – why not share the whole thing? There are a lot of options of media to partake in and listening to an eight hour long music podcast is probably not going to rank at the top of your list but that’s not really the point. This show is meant to serve as documentation of the Nashville music scene during a period of time. What better way to capture that than by playing an insanely long, incredibly diverse, immensely satisfying playlist?

As a bit of a caveat, we’re not a fan of BEST OF lists. There’s literally no way to say what artist or song was better than any other artist or song. Aside from the weird competitive nature of such a mindset, there’s literally just no way to *hear* everything that came out in a year. This playlist is fantastic but it’s incomplete. This isn’t holistic in terms of genres. Nor is it holistic in terms of what may have been the quote unquote BEST track from a given artist or release. It’s a massive, SUBJECTIVE, selection of songs. It does a damn good job of capturing 2022 but it isn’t everything. Despite that, let this be a jumping off point for you to learn more and find even more music from these artists if you enjoy them.
