KRCL's Best of the Year...So Far

It's hard to believe we are halfway through the year, already. Here's an eclectic list with some of the music that's been on repeat for many of our DJs. 

Black Voices in Modern Americana

In recent years, there has been a powerful resurgence of Black artists reclaiming their rightful place in Americana and roots music, challenging traditional narratives and enriching the genre with diverse and intersectional perspectives. This movement represents not just a shift in music, but a cultural reclamation of a genre whose very foundations were built on Black musical traditions.

Live at KRCL: Josaleigh Pollett

Singer-songwriter Josaleigh Pollett released one of KRCL's favorite local albums last year, In the Garden, By The Weeds. Just last week, Salt Lake City Weekly readers voted Pollett "Best Singer-Songwriter," in the recent Best of Utah 2024 edition, besting Addison Grace and Post Malone. "I never thought I would beat Post Malone in anything," said Pollett with a laugh. Pollett shared an acoustic version of YKWIM, which is on the recent album, plus two new songs that are set to appear on a record that is in the works. Give a listen to the full session.
