Hey folks, it’s me Shayne. Your friendly Ranch Program and Music Director.
I get to listen to a ton of music each year, it’s definitely a perk of the job (well, let’s be honest, sometimes it’s the curse of the job). Thought I’d list some of my favorite songs that we added to the Ranch playlist in 2021. There was so much good stuff, that I narrowed it down to my favorite song from each artists album. Granted, some albums deserved more than one song listed from their albums, but this was fun way to recap on some of the magic we got to share with you last year. Here it is, my personal favorites of 2021!
