Album of 2017

Recommended Posts

As expected, both Waxahatchee and This Is The Kit make the list.

1.Courtney Marie Andrews - Honest Life (If I remember correctly it was released in the UK in early 2017)

2. Jade Jackson - Gilded

3. Jason Isbell - The Nashville Sound

4. Justin Townes Earle - Kids In The Street

5. Hurray For The Riff Raff - The Navigator

6. John Moreland - Big Bad Luv

7 Waxahatchee - Out In The Storm

8. This Is The Kit - Moonshine Freeze

9. The Big Moon - Love In The 4th Dimension

10. John Alexander - Of These Lands

The only 2 albums I'm now really looking forward to are Jessica Lea Mayfield and Jolie Holland/Sam Parton. Not sure if I'll get round to getting the Angeleena Presley album.

Brand New shoot right in to the top, and the chances of that being knocked off range between zero and nil.

This.  It won't be topped for me.  If this is indeed the bands last album then they've went out with a bang.

Kendrick, Lorde and Manchester Orchestra make up 2-4.

I'm liking 3,4,5 and 8 so I'll be checking out the rest. Maybe Isbell at 1 though. He's a rare talent. Will see him for the 6th time in Glasgow come October

Just looking back, I've only bought 7 albums in 2017. The Jesus and Mary Chain's - Damage and Joy being my pick so far.

Also, Paul Weller - A Kind Revolution and Father John Misty - Pure Comedy.

 

The The are bringing out a new album next month which will hopefully be worth the wait.

I'm going to see Jason Isbell as well. Just a shame it's been moved from the ABC to the Academy, as the Academy is shit. A couple of changes to mine now I've had more of a chance to listen to a few albums. I'd kind of been neglecting the new Isbell Album and still listening to his old ones. Still loving the Manchester Orchestra album though :

1. Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface

2.Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit - The Nashville Sound

3. Dave Hause - Bury Me In Philly

4. John Moreland - Big Bad Luv

5. Matthew Ryan - Hustle Up Starlings

6. Son Volt - Notes of Blue

7. The Menzingers - After The Party

8. Will Hoge - Anchors

9.Justin Townes Earle - Kids in the Street

10 Conor Oberst - Salutations

There may be a couple of late entries to my list. Or I might have to extend it to a top 15.

Planning on getting Jessica Lea Mayfield, Girl Ray, Jen Cloher and Lilly Hiatt on my next trip to Assai on Oct 7th.

Then theres the Kurt Vile/Courtney Barnett album the following week and Margo Price on Oct 20th

Listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor's new record prompted me to visit this thread. It'll be in my top 10 at year end. Joining Godspeed will be: 

  • Algiers,
  • Mogwai,
  • Anathema,
  • Wolves in the Throne Room 
  • Steven Wilson (probably)

From my perspective  it's not been a tremendous year in music.

Enter Shikari go right in at the top. Genuinely haven't enjoyed an album this much in years. Must have run through the whole thing about 20 times and it isn't losing any appeal. Likely to be a favourite for years.

Wasn't too sure about it at first but it's an absolute belter of an album. Very tempted to catch one of their English dates later this year now.
