I think the new D'angelo record might have a spot on my list...DAMN good classic soul...very reminiscent of "There's a Riot Goin' On"...dank, not very commercial R&B...really digging it.

I literally JUST queued this up in Google Music, and I really like it so far. It might be one of the best of the year.

Here's a couple of video's of people from my list:

Tanya Tagaq's mind blowing performance from the Polaris Music Prize awards where she beat out Drake and Arcade Fire for best Canadian album (I fucking hope so!). It takes over three minutes to really get going.



Sturgill Simpson



Open Mike Eagle



Jonas Hellborg



Indian

Great, Billy Joe Shaver line there, Jacob.

I've also been digging Corb Lund's new album, Counterfeit Blues, but it doesn't really count since it's just recuts of older tracks.

Lucero's Live in Atlanta album is perfect and almost the only album you need. But there again it's all older songs.

I didn't think Old Crow Medicine Show's 2014 album Remedy was as good as 2012's Carry Me Back, but that was going to be a near impossible feat.

Oh, wow...I can't believe I forgot one of my most listened to tracks. The album won't be out til next year, but this has to be the single of 2014.



I think it should be mentioned that Random Access Memories _still_ gets a lot of play. My kids love it. In fact, besides being the album of 2013...it's probably also the album of 2014. Ha!

I really should have thought through my initial post.

Tie for runner up would be...

Oysterband - Diamonds on the Water



I was thinking this was a 2013 release. They're an folk/rock act from England that's been around for awhile. A few years back they collaborated with June Tabor again and won a bunch of awards.



While I liked their their two collaborations (favoring 1990's Freedom and Rain over 2011's Ragged Kingdom) I much prefer Diamonds on the Water. It's only got one track that doesn't work for me, but the rest is fantastic.



I've got to say their arrangements really speak to me and soothe my soul. Sounds cheesy, but it's true.

Doesn't look like they'll ever play the US again, but there's a lot of talk of a 2015 tour in Canada. The wife and I have been mulling over the road trip.

JonJacob wrote: 6/ Sage Francis: Copper Gone ... it's amazing that all these years later Sage Francis still sounds like an angry young man, a hungry artist desperate to prove something. He is practically a legend at this point with a long and colorful career. He's fat and ready to retire right.. well I don't know if it was his break up or what but he sounds every bit as energized as he ever has and this is one of his better collections of songs.


Fun fact: One time I totally cock blocked Sage Francis. I didn't realize he was still making music. But I haven't been paying much attention to the hip hop scene lately.
