Idolator

Yesterday, Idolator Pop 07 began its second phase, with 13 write-ups on specially-made year-end mix-CDs from some of our favorite critics. Today we're proud to present another selection of mixes (tomorrow will be the third and last installment), including ear-opening selections from the great Rich Juzwiak (on R&B's moves toward the straight 4/4), Americana expert Amanda Petrusich going backwards and forwards, NPR regular Will Hermes pondering The Sopranos, and Country Weekly music editor Chris Neal saluting the women of Nashville. (I also contribute a mix of reissued tracks.)
