Mike's best album of the year list; I've been meaning to link to it for a while. A good list!

Several I haven't heard, but need to listen to. Ralph Stanely's T-Bone Burnett-produced album isn't there, and the most recent Buddy and June Miller work isn't either. This is some pretty amazing music, when you stop and look at the list, a really incredible variety of music.  [Steve's No Direction Home Page]

Thanks to Steve for linking to my list.  In retrospect, I can think of several records that I should have included.  First of all, Ralph Stanley's new record is pretty good.  But I have been especially impressed with Buddy Miller's Midnight and Lonesome.  As long as we're having fun, I'd also like to include the following:

* Blue Country Heart - Jorma Kaukonen
* Rise - Kim Richey
* Brainwashed - George Harrison
* The Ragpicker's Dream - Mark Knopfler
