Other records I really liked and listened to a lot:
Preacher Roe - Blood Root Remedy
Besides really good songs and production this is a real guitar record - great guitar sounds.
Duquette Johnston - Rugged & Fancy
Got Lost & Stayed is my song of the year - they don't get any more beautiful than this.
Horse To Water - Junkie
Great songs with superb narratives that come from experience and age.
The musicianship is great and while he doesn't have a natural singing voice he worked at it and it gives his songs authority.
Ghost Shirt - Daniel
Liked this a lot. Good songs, good playing.

In spite of the FU song I like this record. It's a great soul record.
Preservation Hall Jazz Band - Preservation: An album benefiting Preservation Hall
Tom Waits singing Tootie Ma is classic.
Treme - Original Soundtrack
Love the show and the music.
Roy Davis - We Are A Lightning Bolt
My nephew and his band, plays around the Portsmouth Maine area. Good all around I enjoy this record.
