Shimmy She Wobble

A twisted year deserves a twisted collection. This best of 2009 playlist is too long, and probably too uncomfortable.  It is spiked with a couple songs from the 1920s that seemed to fit so they are also included — Mississippi John Hurt’s “Avalon Blues” and the Carter Family’s “Wildwood Flower”.
