Fun game to play come around June. I am sure most of us will pick these below but that's because they set themselves apart from the pack. In no particular order. Jon pardi - write you a song.
Eric church - the outsiders
Miranda - platinum
Dierks - riser
Don Williams - reflections
Looking forward to jam packed second half of the year. With albums from brad, lee Brice, Tim, Kenny, lady A , Easton Corbin, lee ann , Jason aldean, Alan Jackson (maybe) ,

Probably Dierks overall for sheer number of great songs though Platinum feels more like an album. Irene Kelly had a great independent album, and Johnny Cash's was pretty fantastic.

Oh, I thought I forgot Deana Carter's album, but then I realized it came out on december. If not, that would be on my list too.
(Sorry for the double post. The edit thing is not working for me)

2. Rodney Crowell - Tarpaper Sky
3. Johnny Cash - Out Among the Stars
4. Nickel Creek - A Dotted Line
5. Jason Eady - Daylight & Dark
6. Eric Church - The Outsiders

My favourites so far:
1. Jennifer Nettles - That Girl
2. Miranda Lambert - Platinum
3. Martina McBride - Everlasting
4. Jo Dee Messina - Me
5. Sara Evans - Slow Me Down
6. Frankie Ballard - Sunshine & Whiskey
7. Dolly Parton - Blue Smoke
8. Hunter Hayes - Storyline
With more listens, I can see Miranda overtaking Jennifer. Those will probably be my top 2 though, unless something completely unexpected gets released.

In no particular order:
Dierks Bentley - Riser
David Nail - I'm A Fire
Miranda Lambert - Platinum
Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds In Country Music
I haven't listen to these in full yet, but suspect they'd be on the list too:
Eric Church - The Outsiders
Dolly Parton - Blue Smoke
And not exactly a country release but I've also really enjoyed Martina's Everlasting.

After listening to the albums more, plus getting a ton of new ones in the last couple months, I think my list would now look like this: 1. Miranda Lambert - Platinum2. Jennifer Nettles - That Girl3. Martina McBride - Everlasting4. Kenny Chesney - The Big Revival5. Tim McGraw - Sundown Heaven Town6. Lee Ann Womack - The Way I'm Living7. Jason Aldean - Old Boots, New Dirt8. Jo Dee Messina - Me9.

Hunter Hayes - Storyline16. Eric Church - The Outsiders17. Florida Georgia Line - Anything GoesI think that's all I've heard so far this year. I've ordered the Blake Shelton and Taylor Swift albums, and I'm sure I'll get the Little Big Town and Terri Clark albums eventually. Plus, Garth and Trisha are still to come. |

Seeing how most of big name albums have been released, i'll give my final rankings:
1. Riser - Dierks Bentley
- Just a phenomenal bottom, there's not a bad song out of the bunch. So much emotional depth and range on this one. It really moved Dierks up my list of favorite artists.
2. Old Boots, New Dirt - Jason Aldean
- I'm a huge Aldean fan, and while this was much of more of the same, that's a good thing in my books. The ballads on this one are phenomenal country songs. I hope others don't just judge it based off the singles.
3. Cole Swindell - Cole Swindell
- A album full of country fodder, nothing but perfect songs to sing a long too while driving. Love it.
4. Where It All Began - Dan + Shay
- This one really surprised me, but it's full of catchy Country Pop songs, and really sounds like a great soundtrack for the summer.
5. Just As I Am - Brantley Gilbert
- Aside from Small Town Throwdown, this album is full of good rockers and lighters in the air kind of songs. Brantley really grew on me this album cycle, I was not a big fan before.
Honorable mentions: The Outsiders - Eric Church, Anything Goes - Florida Georgia Line, Spring Break 6 - Luke Bryan, and Moonshine In The Trunk - Brad Paisley.
