I have been wanting to do a list of some of my favorite albums because I get a lot of questions about who my favorite (modern) jug and string bands are. Top 10 wasn’t quite enough so i have narrowed it down to a top 15 albums, several ties. There are so many other good albums I would also recommend but these are personal faves old and new.
