Great list! I love Cheap Seats. My song of the year is probably I Need Your Love by Charley Crockett. I have played that one everyday. Love it.

Thank you, Kara. “I need your love” is a beautiful song, and Charley Crockett’s album as well. He’s a brilliant artist and he was Country Music France’s artist of the year in 2020.
