Good pick, Silver Dagger. Got into her music after she played at Roskilde
Festival this summer. Have had her album in heavy rotation since
Apart from that I think this year belongs to the Bear Family label with them re-issuing
Bo Diddley's Beach Party, them collecting Sonny Burns' Starday recordings which
resulted in a very fine comp of Texas honky-tonk, and finally topping it of with
the tremendous Bristol Sessions box set

ten favorite albums from some of you! in one year!
not even in 1968 or 1969, when all we did was smoke rope and listen to music,
did we have ten favorite albums from one year...
ten songs, definitely, but ten albums????
how many times can you possibly listen to these albums?
anyway, grammies say bruno mars, adele, gaga, foo fighters, and rihanna...
havent heard anything from the foo fighters album that we recall at the moment,
so can't say one way or the other.
only know the gaga album from the singles, and dislike every one.
adele's a fine singer, haven't hated any of the songs we've heard, but do
not at all understand all the fuss.
actually have bruno mars album, only listened to it two or three times,
some very good tracks, the radio ones mostly. sorta billy joel meet bill withers
or something like that. possible "song of the year" for "the lazy song".
finally an anthem for the rest of us.
rihanna's "loud", have listened to 40 or 50 times. great great great even if
it does veer off dangerously close to katy perry territory a few times, but each
time saved by that reggae/dancehall backbeat, which dominates on many of
the tracks. we like every track, and love at least half.
otherwise, the only other album of 2011 we listened to a lot was superheavy,
30 or 40 times, but we pulled the plug on it the instant jagger did, and
havent heard it once since. really liked or loved about 10 of the 14 tracks
when we were listening to it, but we've got a serious mental block against
it at the moment. kinda even dislike it now, which is weird.

Decemberists - The King Is Dead
Israel Nash Gripka - Barn Doors & Concrete Floors
Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part 2
Warren Haynes - Man In Motion
Tedeschi Trucks Band - Elevator
Jayhawks - Mokkingbird Time
New Cool Collective - 18
Rich Robinson - Through A Crooked Sun
And really looking forward to 'El Camino' by the Black Keys (to be released this week).
Thanks for reminding me about Israel Nash Gripka. I got the album last night and it's brilliant. Some of the best alt-country I've heard in ages. Reminds me of early Wilco with a bit of Jayhawks thrown in.

Are they a German label? I got a great reissue of Jim Ford's incredible late 60s country soul sides called The Sounds Of Our Time. I didn't believe such a great style of music still existed that I hadn't heard.

You should really check out the Barn Doors & Concrete Floors album by Israel Nash Gripka. Judging by your choices, you'll love that one.
