2009
Doing my end of year list. Urgh, think I finally whittled it down to 20
1. Easy Come Easy Go - Marianne Faithfull
3. The Bright Mississippi - Allen Toussaint
4. Midnight at the Movies - Justin Townes Earle
5. Hills and Valleys - The Flatlanders
6. Traditions in Transition - Quantic and his Combo Barbaro
7. One to the Head, One to the Heart - Gretchen Peters
8. A Friend of a Friend - David Rawlings Machine
9. Mountain Soul II - Patty Loveless
10. Get Out While You Can Dan Sultan
11. Potato Hole - Booker T
12. What Have You Done My Brother? - Naomi Shelton and the Gospel Queens
13. Dirt Town City Limits - Mat d and the Profane Saints
14. Today, Tomorrow and Forever - Pete Molinari feat. The Jordanaires
15. For the Mission Baby -- Malcolm Holcombe
16. Ready for the Flood - Gary Louris and Mark Olsen
17. The List - Rosanne Cash
18. Lucky One - Raul Malo
19. Animals in the Dark - William Elliott Whitmore
20. Cotton - Sam Baker
I'm writing notes for my blog on them but let me just plug one. That Dan Sultan could shoot way up the chart given another couple of days -- only got it yesterday! And its brill, and on eMusic. He's Australian, they call him "the Aboriginal Elvis" I guess for his stage presence and general effect on TEH LAYDEEZ, which I can personally attest to. Here's a dodgy video I took of him a few years back, you can hear my friend exclaim about how hot he is. Hmmm.

I forgot I left Shemekia Copeland's Never Going Back off my list -- should be top ten ...
