We usually do a year-end list, but with most websites doing a "...so far" list, figured it could be fun. Also it is a slow day at work
What are some of your favorite songs/albums so far this year?? Doesn't have to be radio singles, major label etc. Anything you've been listening to that sticks out
Here are mine: First 6 months of 2019
Top 5 Songs
Midland "Put The Hurt On Me" : Good lord this melody. Love the southwestern feel to this.
Jon Wolfe "Some Ol Bar In The 90s" : A throwback song done right, without listing off names. I love the reference to Tracy Lawrence and a long bed Ford in the chorus. I used to have a two-tone long bed Ford.
Triston Marez "Where Rivers Are Red and Cowboys Are Blue": In the same vein as Cody Johnson. Love the melody in the chorus.
Tyler Childers "All Yourn": A concert favorite of his fans. Sounds like a late 60's Dylan song.
Mike & The Moonpies "You Look Good In Neon": New single from my favorite band. If you love early 80's dancehall stuff, this is your jam.
Top 5 Albums/EPs
Orville Peck Pony : Yes, the gay masked cowboy. He's got a great voice (think Roy Orbison with some Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash). He's Canadian and sings songs about the imaginary west with whistles etc. Very trippy, but really enjoyed it.
Cody Johnson Ain't Nothin To It: Solid album, pretty much what I expected. Not as immediate as his last release, but still very solid.
Luke Combs The Prequel: A sampler to his sophomore album, all 5 tracks are solid and exactly what you expected.
Josh Ward Live from Billy Bobs: Great live album from this Texan singer. Alot of tracks and he sounds great. I actually like his stuff better than Cody
Aaron Watson Red Bandana : Struggled for a 5th option here, this album I still need to dive into. I liked Vaquero a lot more, but still a solid offering.
Hopefully 2019 can give us some better albums. I thought last years crop was lackluster as well. Still waiting for the string of great solid albums to drop.
Most Anticipated for Second Half:
Jon Pardi "Heartache Medication"
Tyler Childers "Country Squire"
Midland "Let It Roll"
Mike & The Moonpies pending TBD release
Cody Jinks "After The Fire"
