    Adios, 2010

    Hola, Rave Wreckers. Here's my unsolicited almost 19 Best Of's for 2010:


    19) Tindersticks~ Falling Down A Mountain- "Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in."
    18) Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore~ Dear Companion- So shoot me, anyone who can figure out how to make a cello work this well is OK by me
    17) Jakob Dylan~ Women and Country
    16) Bonnie Prince Billy & The Cairo Gang~ Wonder Show of the World
    15) Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings~ I Learned The Hard Way- Solid, but I still have some nagging doubts.
    14) Mynabirds~ What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood
    13) Solomon Burke~ Nothing's Impossible
    12) Gil Scott-Heron~ I'm New Here- Gets the Survivor Award.
    11) Deer Tick~ The Black Dirt Sessions
    10) Trampled By Turtles~ Palomino- Acid Bluegrass. Who'da thunk.

    There is no #9. I hate 9.

    8) Carolina Chocolate Drops~ Genuine Negro Jig- Because I like it, that's why.
    7) Richard Thompson~ Dream Attic- Bringing terrific new songs in a live setting.
    6) J. J. Grey & Mofro~ Georgia Warhorse- local boy sings soulful, swampy songs. A very good next-step album.
    5) Ray Wylie Hubbard~ A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment (Hint: There Is No C)- Texas music still sways me. Ray Wylie wakes up. Also, best album cover.
    4) Mary Gauthier~ The Foundling- Still my favorite lesbian singer/songwriter.
    3) Two Cow Garage~ Sweet Saint Me- Maybe not a TOTAL surprise relative to their previous albums, but considerably more than an incremental progression. Blasting-down-I-95-in-a-drop-top-442 music.
    2) Bobby Bare Jr.~ A Storm, A Tree, My Mother's Head- Wherein the artist moves beyond the songs of wry observation where he lived up until now.
    1) Josh Ritter~ So Runs The World Away- So runs the album away from the rest of the pack.

    Best seasonal festivities to all of you.

    Bobby Bare Jr? seriously, or is it just one of those ironic band names?

    Uh, son of a guy who has been playing and recording music for a very long time.
    And the world will turn to flowing pink vapor stew.

    I am aware of Bobby Bare. My trucker dad had a couple of his 8-tracks. I didn't know he had a junior though. My mom had this 45 single that Bare put out decades ago with one of his kids on it (really sappy IIRC) - I wonder if it was Jr... (checks wiki) Why yes it was indeed Jr. Yeah, "Daddy What If"... what a blast from the past. And yep, perty insufferable rekkid. I haven't heard the modern day BBJr.
