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"

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

It is near perfect.
Ryan Adams-Ashes and Fire
produced my Gly Johns, outstanding material as well as sound
Thanks for the great suggestions above. I ordered three titles at Amazon a few minutes ago.

My favorite, I've already talked it up here at Audiogon. Black Dub, is Daniel Lanois, Brian Blade, Daryl Johnson and Trixie Whitley.
