2023 Albums of the Year
What follows (better late than never!) is my Albums of the Year 2023 list. I had intended making this a radio show in early January but retired instead! You will see there are thirty something albums on the list. All where individually my number one album at sometime during the year but ultimately the wonderful Mamma Coal album won out! Apart from 'the winner' there is no sort of order to the list and it shouldn't be assumed that I prefer an album at the top of the list to one at the bottom, all are great albums worthy of your investment, both financially and in terms of listening time.
There is a link at the bottom of this page that should, hopefully, take you to a Spotify playlist that includes a track from each of these albums (three from Mamma Coal's 'Dance Hall Crush), with the added bonus that you don't have to listen to my rasping voice anymore. Enjoy the music!
1/ Mamma Coal – Dance hall crush
Gabe Lee – Drink the river
Two Runner –Modern cowboy
Low Hanging Fruit - Parts and labor
