 | Songlines by The Derek Trucks Band
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.99 Maybe the most underrated guitarist bar-none. His best effort to date in a series of increasingly great discs.
|
 | The Information by Beck
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.51 No other musical artist continues to produce the most consistently adventerous and sonically-rich music produced in this era. Didn't like this disc when I first heard it, but it grew on me fast (and continues to do so)
|
 | Tim O'Reagan by Tim O'Reagan
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.18 Who would have thought the drummer from one of my favorite bands (Jayhawks) would deliver the best alt-country discs of the year?
|
 | The Town and the City by Los Lobos
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $6.88 With this release, Los Lobos can now rightfully take claim as America's best band! These guys have delivered a subpar disc. Another disc that grows on you slowly
|
 | 3121 by Prince
Buy used from: $1.58 Everyone thought Musicology was Prince's big comeback but that was just a minor prelude to this, yet another, Prince masterpiece. Still don't understand why this disc didn't sell better.
|
 | These Days by Vince Gill
Buy new: $17.97 / Used from: $10.81 I'm not a big country fan but I've always thought that Vince Gill was a darn good guitarist. And then this ambitious record came out and I was blown away. The best country record this year.
|
 | How We Operate by Gomez
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.76 The best, mature, and most consistent record these guys have made to date. I'll never get tired listening to these gems.
|
 | We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen
Buy new: $13.97 / Used from: $3.93 Didn't want to like this album at first but damn if Bruce didn't deliver one of the best discs in his reportoire. He managed to take old, stodgy folk songs and make them contemporary and fun. There's nobody like Bruce!
|
 | People Gonna Talk by James Hunter
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.98 The best retro soul/R&B disc of the year. Just lots of fun to listen to.
|
 | Full Moon Cigarette by Gran Bel Fisher
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.18 If had to pick one best debut artist it's this guy. Very talented great overall record.
