"We did it again!" says veteran JFH staff member Scott Fryberger about the compilation. "I look forward to our sampler every year, because I love introducing people to new artists and/or help then catch up on something great they may have missed. After several months and tons of emails, messages, and texts, Vol. 9 is here! Even though downloads are slowly becoming a thing of the past, the feedback has already been great, which leads me to think we'll keep putting these together as long as people want them!"

"Putting these together is always a highlight of the year for me," adds JFH founder and Editor-in-Chief, John DiBiase. "Several of the staff pitch ideas for which artists to include on each volume, so there ends up being a really unique and eclectic mix of independent talent. We try to include some familiar names each time, but we really like to share a bunch of lesser-known artists to help give a little extra spotlight to artists who you probably won't otherwise hear on your local radio station."
