Fucking brilliant record.

No doubt. I'm still working on it, maybe I'll come to appreciate his darkness and gloom.

I think you mean "Darkness & Cold, Darkness & Cold"

The wait for something new from Mr. Berman was well worth it. Purple Mountains is an excellent record.

Easily his best in 30+ years.

The Best Record(s) of 2017 hurray for the riff raff – the navigator The Navigator' is a powerful, new kind of Americana.

Bonjour, belleville. Always a pleasure to read your contribution to the year end list. I haven't heard the Kyle Croft album, but did like what I heard when he & his band opened for DBT. I forgot to include World War Willie on my list. I'd say you have it about right, though I did see him put on a t...

Jay Farrar, Eric Heywood & Gary at The Sweetwater in Mill Valley, Ca. a few weeks ago.

Sarah Shook and the Disarmers. They have all the hallmarks of what most folks seem to enjoy here, Sarah possesses a rough hewn charm and is an absolute fireball of a live performer. Her band, which includes beau John Howie, Jr. (Two Dollar Pistols, the Rosewood Bluff) is also a firebrand. In his ow...

#5 on my best of 2015. Great record.

sarah shook & the disarmers – sidelong

Always nice to see you, belleville, rare as it is. Are those cosmic rough riders the same guys who did Enjoy the Melodic Sunshine a million years ago?
