Your favourite 2017 album.?

Just listened to the CD of "A Deeper Understanding", newly released by "The War On Drugs", and this is one impressive production---lush and expansive soundstage with good depth.  If you like "Slave Ambient" and "Living In the Dream", this one is right up there, and a sonic surprise.    

Marty Stuart "Way out West" is excellent.  Produced by Mike Campbell of the TP & Heartbreakers.  I hear a lot of the Byrds influence, great pickin.   Never been much of Marty Stuart fan either.

I have 3 fav's this year, and quite different ones:

-TajMo - excellent SQ and a great modern blues rhythm
-La La Land soundtrack - fun and sounds very good (vocals aside from Emma and Ryan)
- Imelda May - great vocals, several anthem type songs 

My favourite albums of 2017 (so far):

1.)  THUNDERCAT - Drunk
2.)  SLOWDIVE - S/T
3.)  FLEET FOXES - Crack-Up
4.)  THE WAR ON DRUGS - A Deeper Understanding
5.)  KENDRICK LAMAR - Damn

Your post got me thinkin’ about my RC lps. Putting on my gold labeled, promo copy of  "Ain't Living Long Like This" that also has a rare, in my experience, sticker on the top left corner saying: "PROVIDE WITH THE HOPE THAT YOU WILL USE THIS FOR IN-STORE PLAY. PROMO COPY- NOT FOR RESALE WARNER BROS RECORDS & TAPES"
