The best music in 2018


I realize this is early, but based on this (lp), I’m very hopeful...

Glen Hansard "Between Two Shores" ...absolutely fantastic!
128x128slaw
A 2018 record just discovered - released October but I only just saw a review and then bought it. If you love country then Colter Wall - Songs of the Plains.
think Waylon / gram / Jonnie / john prine. 
Listening now on my little leben cs300 and falcon ls3/5a late and just showered after 5 a side footie and glass or red in hand ..... adrenaline / alcohol / audio - triple A rating ....

+1 Colter Wall.

Very fine acoustical recording. Reference. Like the deep double bass playing. 3D soundstage. Fine songs. According to Tidal he's 22 years!? Sounds like 40 at least. Thanks.
Pistol Annies - Interstate Gospel

A more laidback beautiful album from the Pistol Girls. Very fine production. No excessive loudness.

New releases from the champ Rodney Crowell not to be bypassed.
From the "Beast Epic" sessions, "Weed Garden", Iron & Wine is really good. It's made better by the fact it's @ 45rpm.
