The votes have been tallied and the 2013 Fids & Kamily Award winners announced.
I unveiled my personal Top 10 (which, incidentally, included one album not technically eligible…oops) on this week’s episode of the OWTK Radio Hour…in 30 Minutes. Listen to that here.
Just as it was last year, I firmly believe the #1 album as voted on by the 27 Fids & Kamily judges will also be the one to receive a golden gramophone at the 2014 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Dust off that tuxedo, Justin Roberts.

1. Justin Roberts – Recess
