Rotary Downs is one of NPR's Top Ten of 2007!

from NPR.org, December 24, 2007 - It's a great time to be a musician. Anyone can have a home studio and record an album, and there are more ways to distribute that album and get it heard than ever before. All Songs Considered tries to help out by sharing the best of the great unknowns on our Second Stage. On this year-end edition of the program we have the best of the outsider artists from 2007: musicians who made remarkable recordings that were largely overlooked.

Album: Chained to the Chariot
