49. Steve Gunn – Eyes On The Lines
Another one of those artists where pretty much no matter what they release, I am going to enjoy it. Steve Gunn just can’t fail in my eyes.

43. Thao and the Get Down Stay Down – A Man Alive
With clear tUnE- yArDs influences, this was another fun album that borrowed a lot of sounds from a lot of different places to make a record I returned to a lot.
