Well, that's it for 2014. And sadly, that's it for us on this here blog. But don't panic, our very own Cousin JD (aka Brian Rock) will still be discovering and sharing the best in new Country and Americana over at our good friends Turnstyled Junkpiled starting in 2015. Hope to see y'all there! Merry Christmas and Happy New Music to everyone!
