Artist: Alastair Moock
Album: These Are My Friends
Description: Released in mid-2011, Moock's album of "fresh folk for fresh folk," as I called it in my album review, still holds up. Moock can be a modern Guthrie of sorts, with better production to boot.

Artist: Justin Roberts
Song: "Fruit Jar"
Album: Pop Fly
Description: It is safe to say that "Fruit Jar" is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists. So I don't care if I've posted about the song before. When Roberts streams it, I'm gonna share it. Just click on the link below.

Artist: Rocknoceros
Song: "Ohio"
Album: N/A
Description: The Virginia-based trio does what they do best -- revved-up pop songs with a slightly-educational frame. Sufjan Stevens never wrote such a peppy song for Illinois.

Artist: Cat Doorman
Album: The Cat Doorman Songbook
Description: Cat Doorman is the alter ego of Portland, Oregon musician and artist Julianna Bright, and this, her debut kids music album full of DIY spunk takes this year's slot for "album most unlike any other kids album you'll hear all year." As I said in my album review, "It's possible that if Cat Doorman Songbook didn't exist, Etsy would have had to create it."

Artist: Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band
Album: ¡Fantastico!
Description: Los Angeles-based Diaz reworks some of his biggest (English-language) pop confections into (Spanish-language) pop confections. At 22 minutes, it's as much a long EP as a short album, but worth checking out if you're not already a big fan of Diaz' work.

Artist: Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could
Album: Live From Brooklyn
Description: Recorded live in 2011 shortly after the release of his fine Love Me For Who I Am album, this newly-released EP captures the roots-rocking' band sounding in fine form. (Review)

Artist: Vered
Album: Good Morning My Love (Sampler)
Description: Four songs from the New York singer's first album for families -- really, for new parents and their babies. Simple but not simplistic melodies and lyrics; Vered's biggest hope would be that you'd sing along with your baby nearby.
