Hoss’s January 2011 Hossey Award Picks
These are all the songs I’ve chosen for this month’s contest. I know thousands of independent musicians who are deserving of having their songs in this dang deal. So narrowing my picks down to just a few is always the hardest part of my month. Oh well. Such is life.

RE:Wendy Rich-She’s simply the best! I’ve been playing and singing the blues for over 50 years and I have heard no one any better-her live shows are incredible-very high energy, funky and full of fun! She’s a great friend and richly deserves the break she’s worked so hard for for so long. Jerry Shell
