FolkWax Artist of the Year 2007 We had many great nominees for FolkWax Artist of the Year. Before we get to the nominees we would like to recognize some of the artists who received many nominations, but not quite enough to get on the ballot. Among those with larger numbers of nominations who didn't make your final ballot were Sam Baker, Christine Kane, Richard Thompson, Levon Helm, and Tom Pacheco. And there were countless famous and regional nominees with a small handful of nominations. They are all wonderful artists and we are honored to have their names submitted.

FolkWax Album of the Year 2007 We had many, many great albums nominated for the final ballot. We had many great albums nominated that were not released in 2007. Thanks for reminding us how great those albums were, but they could not be on the ballot. We would like to mention some who received multiple nominations, but not enough to make the final ballot. Among those were Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas' In The Moment; Eddi Reader's Peacetime; The Nightwatchman's (Tom Morello) One Man Revolution; and the various artists compilation Wilderness Plots.
