Album Of The Year 2011


Ok, 2011 is winding to a close, it's been a wonderful year for music. I have really enjoyed the best of 2011 music thread so I figured why not toss up a year end personal award thread.

It was a tough choice for me but after much deliberation my album of the year 2011 goes to (drum roll)....

Laura Marling "A Creature I Don't Know"

For me, it's timeless music, beautifully written and played with heart and soul. I cannot think of any women aside from Joni Mitchell that moves me the way Lara Marling does. Such an amazing talent. The chick is heaven sent.

Runner up to The Mountain Goats "All Eternals Deck"

And you?

Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams, by Various Artists was an enjoyable release on c.d. for me.
But I think the c.d. which I played the most in my car and on my Walkman was still Guy Clark's 'Somedays the Song Writes You'. There are just so many fine hooks and guitar solo's on this c.d. that lock me into repeat mode, wish it was out on vinyl.
