LISTENER COMMENTS

I discovered the Fleet Foxes "White White Hymnal" during the the Morning Mix. I instantly fell in love with the sound of Robin Pecknold’s voice and musical talent. I have not been able to stop playing the album and talking about the band.– Monica, Oakdale

Unquestionably the album of the year is (My Morning Jacket’s) Evil Urges. Dramatic changes of mood and tone keep the album fresh, and it’s all very catchy and reminds me of classic rock’s heyday. – Kevin, Delmont

Raising Sand is an extraordinary blend of two mega-talents. Plant and Krauss deliver each song with such beautiful harmony and style. This is a must have for all WYEP listeners! – Mark, Greensburg
