    Alice in Chains - Rainier Fog

    Great album

    I'm still blown away by the work put out by RHCP, Radiohead, AIC in the last few years

    Part of the Light - Ray Lamontagne
    Another beauty. Really love the recent stuff. 

    Uniform Distortion - Jim James
    His best solo effort so far. Really feels like a whole album

    Live From the Ryman - Jason Isbell
    I know there were lots of gripes about the way this one was handled but it sounds fine to my ears. Great performances captured pretty well. 

    High Water I -Magpie Salute
    Fantastic music from some of my favorite musicians. 

    Modern Lore - Julian Lage
    Fun instrumental record from one of the best guitar players in the world. The Nels Cline record he’s a part of is neat too but this one wins on catchy compositions.

    Live at the Ryman is good. And the gold vinyl is gorgeous.

    How does the vinyl of Live at the Rhyman sound?

    Like the recording. Vinyl is quiet and cut well. If you don't like the mix on the recording, the vinyl wont improve it.

    He’s the lead singer of the Old 97’s. His solo stuff is great, and so is the 97’s stuff.

    They, or he, popped up while I was watching some videos - I guess my tastes indicated I might like him.

    He was doing Oceans by himself and it was f##cking amazing. He can play, my god. And I love the sound. My first musical love was Eddie Van Halen - I loved to watch him play, he could have been amazing if he had not gone with a band and played solo. 

    Anyway, I know that is an older song, but I  thought I'd seen someone mention the name here so I decided to give it a try. Glad I did!

    Added to one of my playlists.

    Been kind of a weak/slow year for music IMO. Nothing really stood out this year.  Kurt Vile- Bottle it In is a contender though.  Few others I really like are Ghost, Alice in Chains, Gorillaz, Good, Bad & The Queen, Django Django, BRMC, The Prodigy, The Decemberists and a couple others. 
    forgot about APC and jim james.

    Rainier Fog is a fantastic record. Cantrell is an underappreciated genius in my view.

    Fucked Up - Dose your Dreams. 

     I keep going back to this album - it's so damn good.  Not what you'd expect from a 'hardcore' band, even features an appearance by J Mascis and strings arranged by Owen Pallett.  It's eclectic, danceable and sounds fantastic loud.

    I'm going to say Egypt Station by Sir Paul McCartney. I think it's a fantastic album that just made me feel better than any other album from this year.

    +1. Fine album by Mr. Tweedy. Looking forward to reading his book. Check out his recent interview w/ Marc Maron on Marc's WTF podcast if you haven't already done so....two thoughtful and introspective people who really don't know each other yet digging into a wide ranging conversation that sounds as if they've been friends for years.

    I’m hoping to hit up the podcast tonight! I really loved the book. Jeff writes just as he banters in between songs. It’s finny, deep, and just an easy read. Well, I imagine it’s an easy read. I have to listen to audiobooks now because of my brain shit, but it was so enjoyable. It felt like a private conversation with Jeff at my table. I’m sure the book is easy too, but check out the audiobook.
