I've really enjoyed a lot of individual songs this year. But there are eight full CDs that stand out to me. The first four had me at the first listen....
Jack White - Blunderbuss
The Black Keys - El Camino
Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale - Buddy and Jim
Lucero - Women and Work
The next four took me a couple more listens. As I listened, individual songs started to catch my ear. Before I knew it, the CD was taking up residence in the player.
The Avett Brothers - The Carpenter
Ben Sollee - Half Made Man
Dr. John - Locked Down
Mumford and Sons - Babel
Have an amazing and safe new year...and have fun.
