DiS Users' January 2023 Songs of the Month

A new monthly thread series

Post your top 5 tracks released that month and I’ll place your top pick into a playlist which I will share when the thread closes. It’ll run alongside @BMS1 monthly album threads for timeframe reference (obviously January’s will be different).

It doesn’t matter if its a single, album track or something off a reissue or compilation tbh. If a song is repeated at number 1, I’ll take the second track on the list.

For ease of getting this moving, I’ll close the thread on Wednesday 8th Feb, so you have a week to get your choices down.

Shoot away.

  1. H.C. McEntire & Amy Ray - Turpentine
  2. Margo Price - Been To The Mountain
  3. Coi Leray - Players
  4. Complete Mountain Almanac - February
  5. Boldy James etc - Wrong Side of Town

Excellent month for folky country songs. Some ace drawn out Neil Young/Nels Cline guitar on Turpentine, trippy organ driven track with belting vocal performance from Margo Price and a Grandmaster Flash sampling banger from Coi Leray.
