Duke’s WXDU did a count down of the Tarheel State’s top 80 musical releases of 2009. This is not only a solid countdown but also a really great compendium of North Carolina releases. Some (e.g. Midtown Dickens) are more Carolina than others (e.g. the Mountain Goats), but it’s all Carolina in some sense. We’ve posted it below and you can also check it out here.
