Well now you can add "Before The Frost" The Black Crowes. Great stuff. Dont see how any fan of great rock and roll will not like this. I love it already. Doesnt even need to grow on me.

The Black Crowes have to be among the most overrated bands ever. Their first couple of albums were allright. But since then,they have absolutely sucked ass.

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

Overrated ? They are not even popular enough anymore to even be overrated. Just good rock and roll. Thats all it is. Who's doing this rating anyway ? Crowes hit and miss just like any other band that is brave and attempts new things. Great band live and in the studio. The best pure rock band out there today.

Steve Wynn's disk of Dylan covers, STEVE SINGS BOB, is damn good.

My pick as well. Been thoroughly enjoying this
Also the recent archive release of Sly & The Family Stone's Woodstock set has been very welcome

all the "Woodstock Experience" releases have been fabulous additions to the collecstion....airplane, winter, janis, santana...

21st Century Breakdown---Green Day
The Black Crowes Before The Frost...Until The Freeze 2CD set(Crowes best EVER!)
Secret, Profane And Sugarcane---Elvis Costello
Get Lucky---Mark Knopfler

You're likely right, Tod. Just haven't got any further than Sly yet. So much music, so little money. Johnny's next...

and the new 6cd woodstock set is nice - although it's not comprehensive - adds to the 25th anniv set, but oddly excludes about a dozen trax present on that earlier release. on the new set, some of the best new stuff is the chip monck announcements...

The Rhino box looks nice indeed. Unfortunately the price local retailers are asking for it isn't

Horehound - The Dead Weather

Together Through Life - Bob Dylan

The Outer South - Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band

Wilco - Wilco

I can't really say because there are worthy contenders I haven't heard, or haven't heard enough to judge.

The Wilco continues to grow on me after a few listens, though...that's usually a good sign.

Before the frost...
Until the freeze
The black crowes

Together through life
Bob Dylan

That Lonesome Song by Jamey Johnson sounds like Waylon Jennings, raw country album far from pop country, viva country!!

I think it's fair to say that with just 6 weeks left to go in 2010 everything worth hearing has now been released.

So what are your definitive top 10 new albums of the year.

Here's mine

1. Los Lobos - Tin Can Trust
2. Neil Young - Le Noise
3. Teenage Fanclub - Shadows
4. Tom Petty - Mojo
5. The Tame Impalas - Innerspeaker
6. Ronnie Wood - I Feel Like Playing
7. The Duke And The King - Long Live The Duke And The King
8. Paul Weller - Wake Up The Nation
9. Tom Jones - Praise And Blame
10. John Grant - Queen Of Denmark

You have listed a few good ones from 2010 there, but this thread is really about albums from 2009.

The 2010 albums haven't sunk in as much as last years' have, so I'll prefer listing my picks for 2009:

Backyard Tire Fire - Good To Be
Blackberry Smoke - Little Piece Of Dixie
The Flatlanders - Hills And Valleys
The Fabulous Thunderbirds (2nd self titled CD, sold in the merch section of their website)
Paolo Nutini - Sunny Side Up
