Though I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard Marty Stuart’s vocals described as “smooth.”

Marty Stuart and his band are justly deserving of #1. They are amazing musicians.

I’m glad to see 100 proof rated so high. I think that album was my favorite all year. Also glad you included 3 Pears- I noticed a lot of people left it off their lists. There are things I don’t like about it but at least its interesting and Dwight Yoakam is just cool.

sorry I can’t take any list with Brandi Carlisle on it seriously.

I actually own two of the albums on the list, which is a higher percentage than most years! (lol)

It would have been nice to see the Turnpike Troubadours on this list but I’m glad that Shovels and Rope did not make it! I really don’t get the attraction of their live album(?).

I agree with Johnathan about the Sara Watkins album. I listened to the song snippets on Amazon and found most of them unbearable. Sara has the talent but I’m still waiting until she does something with it I find worth listening to.

I love the comment about Chelle Rose “Lucinda Williams meets mid-‘90s Courtney Love”! Yikes, that makes me want to run for the hills! (lol)

There are some real masterpieces on this list, particularly in the Top 4.

For those who are thinking “Red High Heels” when they see Kellie Pickler’s name, don’t sell her short. “Stop Cheatin’ On Me” sounds like Loretta could’ve wrote it. It’s one of the best original country songs of the past couple years.

Would’ve liked to seen The Time Jumpers a little higher, but that’s just personal preference. Great list.
