Listening back 2020: Oregon recordings from a fraught year
Spotlighting a last batch of 2020 Oregon recordings
I know the last thing many of us want to do is revisit 2020. But we can’t let it slip away without spotlighting one final batch of musical recommendations gleaned from the many recordings Oregon musicians released last year. Some explicitly respond to the crises that plagued what ArtsWatch’s Bob Hicks calls “The Year That Should Not Speak Its Name.” Others were made earlier and released last year. Whether soothing or invigorating, they’re all worth hearing even after the year they appeared.
With most Oregon music happening on our home screens and speakers rather than stages last year, we’ve been devoting more pixels to recordings than ever.

Oregon National Guard troops are readying to help law enforcement respond to potentially violent demonstrations around the state in the runup to President-Elect Joe Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration.
Federal authorities warned earlier this week that armed groups are planning to protest the inauguration in the capitals of all 50 states and Washington, D.C., and Gov. Kate Brown on Wednesday activated the National Guard in response to a request from Oregon State Police Superintendent Terri Davie.
