Folk harmony trio Brother Sun’s sophomore release, Some Part of the Truth, was the most-played album on folk radio during 2013. The trio — comprised of veteran touring singer-songwriters Joe Jencks, Greg Greenway and Pat Wictor — also had the most-played song, Jencks’”Lady of the Harbor,” according to charts compiled by Richard Gillmann from radio playlists submitted to FOLKDJ-L, an electronic discussion group for DJs and others interested in all folk-based music on the radio.
Members of Brother Sun also backed Mara Levine on Jewels and Harmony, 2013’s third most-played album. Pharis and Jason Romero’s Long Gone Out West Blues was the #2 album, while its title track was the #3 song on folk radio. The Stray Birds’ “Dream in Blue” was the #2 song.
