Following are my top cd releases of 2000 in chronological order. There are a few that were actually released in 1999, but purchased in 2000. Funny, none of these appears on CNN's "Worldbeat Global Album Chart -- top 100 for 2000." Just one note about The Floating Folk Festival. This is a group of Richmond, Virginia songwriters who play wherever they can find a stage. Volume 2 is a very well produced compilation of many of these songwriters.
