I bought about fifty odd albums released this year; not much really, but much more than the previous few years. It's really hard to narrow down to my top ten, cause there is an overwhelming amount of good stuff. So after much serious re-listening and consideration, here are my top twenty:
1. The Whole Love – Wilco
2. Rome – Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi
3. Ashes & Fire – Ryan Adams
4. Bad As Me – Tom Waits
5. Circuital – My Morning Jacket
6. Barton Hollow – The Civil Wars
7. Nothing Is Wrong – Dawes
8. Collapse Into Now – R.E.M.
9. The Harrow & The Harvest – Gillian Welch
10. Blessed – Lucinda Williams
11. Go-Go Boots – Drive-By Truckers
12. How To Become Clairvoyant – Robbie Robertson
13. Elsie – The Horrible Crowes
14. I’m With You – Red Hot Chili Peppers
15. Wasting Light – Foo Fighters
16. Helplessness Blues – Fleet Foxes
17. Revelator – Tedeschi Trucks Band
18. The King Is Dead - The Decemberists
19. Bon Iver - Bon Iver
20. The Lost Notebooks Of Hank Williams - Various Artists
almost made the list:
