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!
slaw
+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.
I'm still working on 2018...

Beth Hart "Live @ The Royal Albert Hall"  SQ = EX!!!
