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!
128x128slaw
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio - "Close But No Cigar"

Got an early release copy from the guys at my LRS - Plaid Room Records. They also run the record label - Colemine Records who are releasing this record from Delvon Lamarr.

Check out this set from KEXP. Awesome stuff.

Dukes of the Orient - another offshot of ex-Asia John Payne, kind of continuation of GPS project. Both music and recording quality (surprising for this type of music nowadays) is absolutely outstanding, and IMHO much better effort then GPS " Window to the Soul".
I am not huge fan of Asia,but this recording is superb.
Brandi Carlile  "by the way, I forgive you". Her latest and it is outstanding! She really has matured as an artist.
