My Favorite Albums of 2011

This is my last post of 2011 — I’ll be visiting the little lady through New Year’s. Thanks so much for reading! I’ve got some really exciting stuff for you in the next few weeks! Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and happy new year!

This is a list and short descriptions of each album — I’ll do more complete reviews in the coming weeks; the calendar caught up with me!
The list is basically in chronological order. My criteria was “could I stop listening to it within one day after I bought it? No? OK, then.”

1) John Moreland & The Dustbowl Souls — Everything the Hard Way

I already told you about this album. If for some ungodly reason you haven’t done this already, listen to it now:

2) State Champion — Deep Shit

I actually listened to this album continuously for the three days after I bought it, and I’m still not sick of it yet. Everything about it is breathtaking. You can stream some of the songs here.

3) Shane Sweeney — The Finding Time


The first solo album by Two Cow Garage’s louder half. Plainspoken, introspective, and powerful. Stream the whole thing here.
