Album Of The Year 2011

Ok, 2011 is winding to a close, it's been a wonderful year for music. I have really enjoyed the best of 2011 music thread so I figured why not toss up a year end personal award thread.

It was a tough choice for me but after much deliberation my album of the year 2011 goes to (drum roll)....

Laura Marling "A Creature I Don't Know"

For me, it's timeless music, beautifully written and played with heart and soul. I cannot think of any women aside from Joni Mitchell that moves me the way Lara Marling does. Such an amazing talent. The chick is heaven sent.

Runner up to The Mountain Goats "All Eternals Deck"

And you?

Thanks for the link Richard, never heard of her before, and after seeing that you tube, I'm ordering the cd! What a talent.

My choice for 2011 would be Gillian Welch, "The Harrow and the Harvest" and Emmylou Harris " Hard Bargain".

You already know mine, bro.

Diamond Mine, King Kreosote and John Hopkins

If it weren't for you and NPR I might not have given it a try.

Good choices, yours. Like the Gillian Welch but she and Dave have done better.

The CD of the year is 'Marsalis and Clapton play the Blues'.

It is near perfect.
