It's so hard to place these picks from 1 to 10 because I love each of them for different reasons. So...I'm using my Program Director's prerogative and arranging these in no particular order.
Haim - Days Are Gone
Throwback pop perfection
Little Green Cars - Absolute Zero
I like quirky lyrics!
Jason Isbell - Southeastern
Songs you feel down deep...a fantastic songwriter!
Dr. Dog - B-Room
Unique, fun, great live show!
Valerie June - Pushin' Against a Stone
Roots music with an original twist.
Phosphorescent - Muchacho
My chill out album of 2013...gorgeous.
Jim James - Regions of Light and Sound of God
There's always one that sneaks up on me...this gets better every time I hear it.
Jake Bugg - Jake Bugg
This young whipper snapper is too talented for his own good.
Anders Osborne - Peace
Wow! This one took me by surprise...found my way back to him.
Laura Marling - Once I Was An Eagle
That voice, that guitar work, those lyrics...mind blown.
