It was a clear day in Alamosa for the Monte Vista Crane Festival

PLEASE HELP SUPPORT THE COLORADO PLAYLIST

Hi folks. I could use your help, please.

I’m mostly retired now and the costs of producing the show, tracking airplay and maintaining the site are really starting to eat into my monthly retirement income.

Please make donations via Venmo at chrisk-2 OR use the form at the bottom of this page (I prefer Venmo).

If you represent a business that would like my listeners to know about you, email me at coloradoplaylist@gmail.com for details.

MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

Every year I debut approximately two hundred new current-year songs.

Every week I have to make decisions about what to keep to play again and what to archive.

Let me know what you think of the debuts (D) I shared in the show this week.

Results enter into determining which cuts stay in the library and which cuts might eventually make it to the annual Colorado Playlist Fan & Listener Poll and the “some of the best of the year” show.

MONDAY OCTOBER 30 2023 – WOW .. OK Mr Winter! Thanks for reminding us that you’re still here (for those who like you and those who don’t). Of course, I spent my weekend huddled up with plenty of new releases to fill the show for the next several weeks. In the meantime, check out the updated Colorado 2023 on Spotify.

On the subject of new releases – last year about this time, I became acquainted with Emily Scott Robinson, whose album “American Siren” on John Prine’s (RIP) Oh-Boy Records became the Colorado Playlist Americana Album of the Year.

This year’s end of year Americana surprise comes from Jobi Riccio, who grew up in Morrison and who’s new album, “Whiplash,” is out on esteemed indie label, Yep Roc. Let me know what you think of the new single, below.

Join me for a special night as I receive a Lifetime Achievement Award.
