WTJU Best of 2017 Releases
By WTJU
As they have for the last several years, a number of the WTJU announcers look back at some of their favorite 2017 releases (with one or two late 2016 and early 2018 pre-releases making the cut). Because there were so many wonderful releases by local acts, most of the announcers chose to limit their lists to those outside the Charlottesville area.
