Best Uke Recordings of 2010

Hippie Dribble · Dec 2, 2010

hi all

as we approach 2011, I thought it may be interesting to look back over the year in uke music.

What were your favorite / most listened to uke records of 2010?

Not necessarily released this year - maybe they're oldies but goodies - but what floated your boat this year in ukulele recordings?

Abe Lagrimas Jr Ukulele Vibes, Jake's Live, and Brittni Paiva's Four Strings, which is highly recommended as a holiday gift!

Brilliant- I've known Christopher since he was about 13...haven't seen him in a regrettably long time, looks like his talent on guitar extends to Ukulele, and that makes me happy.
Tell him old Mr. L is well impressed would ya?

One album that gets overlooked a lot is "Ukulele Jim's Authentic Down Home Marital Aid." It's a fantastic record.

You have to mention Victoria Vox's "Exact Change."

Also Manitoba Hal's "Little Box of Sadness."

And "Two Bedroom Apartment" from Danielle Ate the Sandwich is damn fine, too.

Anything by Brother Sonny (Todd Baio) is awesome as well.

Totally agree Seeso. Jim is a sweet, smooth player with a warm, folky twang in his voice, and he sure knows how to write lovely, mellow folk tunes (and nice arrangements too!). Great choice.

Many of these artists can be found on the compilation album we put together, "Song Still Remains." All proceeds go to benefit the Duchenne Foundation.

+1 on the "Two Bedroom Apartment" I would do so with the others, but have not heard them, but will give them a listen on your word. Mike
