I've really been getting into the Turnpike Troubadors lately. I had bought their self titled album almost two years ago and it's excellent but I've been listening to their other stuff and it's equally excellent. Love the mix of Fiddle and Hermonica these guys have. Their new album comes out next month and it might be my most anticipated album of the year.

Who knew since discovering Cody Jinks last year that I would find even more great country acts which are ignored by mainstream radio. Real country music is alive and well and it sounds great.

Alright ladies and gentlemen I've received your Western Union cables and carrier pigeon notes asking for my favorite albums from this year. So, in honor of Nigel Tufnel, I countdown the top 11 albums of 2017.


#11 Chris Shiflett - West Coast Town

judging by this album and his podcast the Foo Fighter guitarist has caught the Americana/alt country bug.

#10 Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - The Nashville Sound


another solid effort from Mr. Isbell and co. I should probably stop comparing his new albums to Southeastern since that might be the best album of this decade.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I've heard some of Isbell's new album. It's pretty decent. I did like his previous album too.

#9 Neil Young - Hitchhiker


it's Neil recorded in 1976, enough said! if you need to know more:

I have no idea if they're new, old or what, but I have been listening to a lot of Rural Alberta Advantage and they're freaking great!

Religion is the most stupid invention of mankind, BUT it ended up giving us the artistic career of David Eugene Edwards.

I've heard of them but have never heard one of their songs, how about posting one of your favorites?

Agree on the religion part. Who is David Eugene Edwards? Related to Don Edwards who I posted a song from above?

Oh OK, didn't know that. I've had Mosaic by Wovenhand on my Amazon wishlist for a couple years, might have to finally pull the trigger.

Wovenhand is... interesting. In that it's getting heavier and heavier by each release. Mosaic is very good, but you'd listen to Refractory Obdurate right after and you're swear it's two completely different bands.
