I’ve listened to A LOT of music this year so far but still real excited / cool to see artists on these lists that I’ve never heard of or even seen in writing in all my searching. Gonna be a fun week to catch up on some of these.
Top 15 (Not in Order) Spanish Love Songs - Brave Faces Everyone Katie Pruitt - Expectations Brian Fallon - Local Honey John Moreland - LP5 Tyson Motsenbocker - Someday I'll Make It All Up To You Caityln Smith - Supernova Gabe Lee - Honky Tonk Hell Steve Moakler - Blue Jeans Hailey Whitters - The Dream Jill Andrews - Thirties Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - Reunions Kelsea Ballerini - Kelsea Ken Yates - Quiet Talkers Ruthie Collins - Cold Comfort Richard Edwards - The Soft Ache and the Moon
Probably weren't talking to me but personally I do a lot of browsing of this site, listen to playlists curated by Spotify/Apple music for the genres I'm interested in, check out all the new releases every week in Apple Music for the genres I like, and visit a few other music websites.
Been a wildly good year for music, considering how much literally everything else about 2020 has been a piece of shit. Working on my list right now and looking forward to grabbing some recs from this thread.
1. Katie Pruitt - Expectations 2. Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit - Reunions 3. Brian Fallon - Local Honey 4. Mandy Moore - Silver Landings 5. Mt. Joy - Rearrange Us 6. Diet Cig - Do You Wonder About Me? 7. Hamilton Leithauser - The Loves Of Your Life 8. Drive-By Truckers - The Unraveling 9. John Moreland - LP5 10. Esme Patterson - There Will Come Soft Rains It's been a bad year for me for any kind of discovery -- this list is entirely artists that I've listened to for a long time/knew about/followed etc. Between finishing my thesis, applying for jobs, and everything else, I just haven't been able to do it like I usually do.
