Anyway, whats everybody's favorite artists and new albums this year?
I love Neko Case and Drive-By Truckers - they're by far my favorite country artists, though I guess DBT crowds the along the country, country/southern-rock line. I saw Neko last year and she was amazing - heavenly vocals. I can't wait to see DBT in September. I'm also a fan of Ryan Adams' country work, particulary Heartbreaker. Uncle Tupelo is another band I enjoy. Hank Williams III reminds me a bit of his grandfather with a bit of pyschobilly thrown in - I can't wait for his new album to drop as I've really enjoyed his last two. Of course Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Waylon, etc get plays from me as well.
As for new albums, so far Brighter Than Creation's Dark is my favorite of the year, with my favorite songs being Bob, Lisa's Birthday, Daddy Needs A Drink, 3 Dimes Down to name a few, ha.
I picked up a handful of country albums today:
Hayes Carll - Trouble in Mind
Ashton Shepherd - Sounds So Good
Old 97's - Blame It On Gravity
I've only had a chance to listen to Hayes so far (my first album of his) and am loving what I'm hearing. Great music right there.
