Ken Nagelberg's Top Five Songs of 2016

Ken Nagelberg <profken@GMAIL.COM>
Top Five Songs of 2016, "It's For Folks," WHYR, Baton Rouge, LA

Disclaimer:  The selection is based solely on the judgment of the host of
"It's For Folks," Ken "Dr. K" Nagelberg. Judgment was based on having a
melody that quickly is absorbed by listeners but remains fresh after
multiple listening;  lyrics that show depth of emotion, complexity, and/or
expression of an important idea or human condition; vocals (where used)
that are well performed, on pitch, and harmonies (where used) that are
pleasing and blend well;  instrumental skills; and high quality mixing and
mastering. The songs do not necessarily represent the Top Five Albums, but
they have all been played multiple times during the year on "It's For
Folks." Selected artists may feel free to use their selection in
promotional materials, so long as they credit "It's For Folks, hosted by
Ken "Dr. K" Nagelberg, from WHYR, Baton Rouge Community Radio."  Thank you, artists, producers, and record companies for all the good folk music you
sent me this year!
