how do you think that Touche stacks up against their other ones? I like it but it hasn’t really wowed me. Musically it’s fine, lyrically it’s fine but it doesn’t feel groundbreaking. It’s not bad, just decent.

I'm not all that familiar with their other records to be honest, but this new one really did blow me away and has been by far the best I have heard in this particular genre for some time. Loved it!

  2. Johnny Blue Skies - Passage Du Desir*
  3. Lake Street Dive - Good Together*
  4. Kelly Finnigan - A Lover is Born*
  5. Sarah Jarosz - Polaroid Lovers*
  6. Billy Strings - Highway Prayers*
  7. Aaron Frazer - Into the Blue*
  8. Kishi Bashi - Kantos*
  9. Thee Sacred Souls - Got a Story to Tell*
  10. Waxahatchee - Tigers Blood*
  11. Andrew Bird & Madison Cunningham - Cunningham Bird
  12. Johnny Cash - Songwriter *
  13. Amaro Freitas - Y’Y*
  14. Sprints - Letter to Self
  15. Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings - Woodland
  16. Kacey Musgraves - Deeper Well*
  17. Max Richter - In a Landscape
  18. Shabaka - Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace*
  19. Katia & Marielle Labèque - Phillip Glass/Cocteau Trilogy
  20. Anastasia Kobekina - Venice
  21. Parlor Greens - In Green/We Dream*
  22. Thee Marloes - Perak*
  23. Laurie Anderson - Amelia
  24. Willie Nelson - The Border*
  25. Taylor Swift - Tortured Poets Department*
  26. Brad Mehldau - After Bach II
  27. Ghost Funk Orchestra - A Trip to the Moon*
  28. Kamasi Washington - Fearless Movement*
  29. Beth Gibbons - Lives Outgrown
  30. Dave Guy -Ruby*
  31. Molly Tuttle - Into the Wild
  32. St Vincent - All Born Screaming*
  33. Sophie de Bardonnéche - Destinées
  34. Iron and Wine - Light Verse*
  35. Maggie Rogers - Don’t Forget Me*
* in collection (Dave Guy made it on Cassettee, Swift is a CD)

It’s time for me to start thinking about what a top ten looks like. This list is all the 2024 albums (minus Billy Strings Live and Bluey - Rug Island) that were in my top 100 listens so far this year. There are a few things that will be in consideration that haven’t made this list for various reasons (mostly not enough time with them yet) - like Willie’s Last Leaf, the new Haley Heynderickx, and the new Leon Bridges. There are things on the list that have zero shot like Johnny Cash and Taylor Swift. I am considering giving each album a shoot out for rankings, like I’ll start with the albums not listed and whichever one of them I decide is the best will then go against Maggie to determine an overall ranking. I might get this all done by the time Christmas music takes over my listening.
