Eliza Gilkyson had both the top album (Secularia) and the most-played song (“Down by the Riverside”) on folk radio during July 2018, while Brooks Williams had the #2 album and song (Lucky Star and “Bright Side of the Blues,” respectively). Five other tracks on Gilkyson’s album and four others on Williams’ new one also were among the month’s top songs. So say charts compiled from radio playlists submitted to FOLKDJ-L, an electronic discussion group for DJs and others interested in all folk-based music on the radio.
