Everyone else is doing it, so I guess that means that we need to do it too. Yes, mom, we would jump off a bridge with everyone else if they were doing it.. because, that’s how we roll. So, we’ve broken down our lists into our favorite “national releases of 2012” and our “Nashville releases of 2012” as a No Country team. We decided to throw our best shows of 2012 into individual lists since we usually try to cover as many different events as possible. To let you have the full opportunity to absorb our gems, we are going to release the lists in separate posts each day this week. We’re getting you started with our “Top National Releases of 2012” below with full album spotify players.
