Today’s selection for Favorite New Years Song is titled New Years Day and is from one of my favorite albums released this year, Ashes and Roses, by Mary Chapin Carpenter.  Let’s listen……

Our 2012 end of the year music review continues today with the Best Song award.  Tomorrow we will end our year end awards with our Best Album selection.

As it turns out, my top ten songs for 2012 are all from my top ten albums for 2012.  So today we will do a run down of my picks for the top ten albums of 2012 and in the process of that run down we will listen to my top song picks from those albums.  Once you have listened to each song, I will reveal my pick for Best Song and you can see if you agree.
