Singer-Songwriter Chuck Brodsky had the most-played album (Gravity, Wings, and Heavy Things) and three of the top 10 songs on folk radio during May 2022. Cosy Sheridan’s “The Land of 10,000 Mothers” edged out Brodsky’s “It Takes Two Wings” for the most-played song, while Bob Dylan was the month’s top artist. 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.
