Singer-Songwriter Janis Ian had the #1 album (Light at the End of the Line<\/em>), four of the top 10 songs, and was the most-played artist on folk radio during January 2022. Buffalo Rose, a modern folk\u2013Americana ensemble, joined by Tom Paxton, had the month\u2019s most-played song (Paxton\u2019s \u201cI Give You the Morning\u201d). So say charts compiled by Folk Alliance International based on radio playlists submitted to FOLKDJ-L, an electronic discussion group for DJs and others interested in folk-based music on the radio.<\/p>\n

\"JanisJanis Ian\u2019s Light at the End of the Line<\/em>, officially released January 22 on her own Rude Girl Records, is the veteran artist\u2019s first album of new material since 2006\u2019s Folk is the New Black<\/em> and is reportedly her last solo recording. Ian, 70, who burst on the folk scene while still a teenager in the mid-1960s and scored major hits with \u201cSociety\u2019s Child\u201d early on in her career, is a two-time Grammy Award-winner. Her new album features 12 newly recorded tracks. Also lending their musical talents to the recording are John Cowan, Vince Gill, Diane Schuur, and Andrea Zonn, among others.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a link to listen to its opening track, \u201cI\u2019m Still Standing,\u201d which is about getting older but wiser: youtube.com\/watch?v=Y93NZWb7oLw<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At 70, with more than 55 years of experience as a professional writer, Ian says she\u2019s ready to step back from performing and recording after touring for the final time later this year. \u201cIt takes a certain amount of maturity to realize that you don\u2019t have to keep proving you can write,\u201d she asserts. \u201cI\u2019ve already created a body of work I\u2019m proud of, and I\u2019m old enough to realize that it\u2019s the light at the end of the line that matters. And I\u2019m not calling this retiring. It\u2019s rewiring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania\u2019s Buffalo Rose features Lucy Clabby (vocals), Margo Jazerc (vocals), Bruce Rubideau (mandolin), Malcolm Inglis (dobro), Jason Rafalak (upright bass), and Shane McLaughlan (guitar and vocals). The band \u2013 which was recently selected to showcase its talents during this year\u2019s SXSW — is joined on \u201cI Give You the Morning\u201d by Tom Paxton. A folk icon and Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Paxton wrote the song that previously appeared on his own recording The Things I Notice Now<\/em>. It\u2019s one of four songs recorded with Paxton on Buffalo Rose\u2019s forthcoming EP entitled Rabbit<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The January 2022 Top Albums, Songs and Artists charts are based on 15, 373 airplays reported on 499 playlists submitted by 122 different folk DJs. The number of reported spins is shown below in parentheses.<\/p>\n
