60 favorite albums released in 2000 from my collection. It was very difficult picking out an album for the top of the list and I finally choose a perfect collection of American roots music from a very cool movie. I was a very good year for roots music with wonderful releases from Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, John Hiatt, Johnny Cash and the North Mississippi Allstars in my top ten. There were so many good albums that once again I couldn't stop at 60 and actually doubled the list to 120. Another year of variety with Radiohead almost taking the top spot with an album that I didn't really take to at the time of it's release but has grown on me over the years. I'm looking forward to putting together some mixes from this list.
