Av Tom Skjeklesaether
1. Iris DementI- Workin´ on a World (Flariella records)
— Iris Dement syvende inneholder episke «Going down to sing in Texas», en av de aller beste sangene skrevet i det nye årtusenet.
2. Ryuichi Sakamoto- 12 (Milan)
— Japanske Sakamoto døde i mars i år, 71 år. Han etterlot seg dette rekviemet, noe av den vakreste musikken jeg har hørt. Musikk som veiviser til evigheten.
3. Signe Marie Rustad - Particle of Faith (Die with your Boots on)
— Signe Marie Rustads fjerde legger lista høyt, og glir over med eleganse.
4. Cordovas - The Rose of Aces (ATO Records)
— Endelig treffer Cordovas planka også på plate. 70s countryrock modernisert.
5. Luke Elliot - Let em all talk (Icons creating Evil Art)
— Luke Elliott og produsent/ multiintrumentalist Freddy Holm fortsetter å skape rock-alkymi.
6. Kassi Valazza- Knows nothing (Loose)
— Portlands Kassi Valazza er den nye generasjonens Iris Dement og Gillian Welch rolled-into-one.
7. Various Artists- A song for Leon: A tribute to Leon Russell (Primary Wave)
— Leon Russell var en av rockens virkelige renessanse-menn, som låtskriver, produsent, plateselskaps-entreprenør og distinkt stemme. Nå begynner folk å forstå betydningen hans, her via bl.a. Margo Price, Durand Jones, Nathaniel Rateliff, Orville Peck og Hiss Golden Messenger.
8. David Ritschard- Detta har hänt (Universal)
— Ritchard må ha visse utfordringer knyttet til TV-opptredener, men her har han laget karriere-albumet sitt.
9. Jonathan Wilson - Eat the Worm (BMG)
— Jonathan Wilson fortsetter å bevege seg, nok et album å dykke dypt ned i.
10. Son Volt - Day of the Doug: The Songs of Doug Sahm (Transmit Sound/ Thirty Tigers)
— Uncle Tupelo gjorde Doug Sahms «Give back the key to my heart» sammen med Doug på sistealbumet, Anodyne i 1993. Her er Jay Farrar tilbake med ytterligere 12 Sahm-låter. Forbilledlig levert.
11. Dylan LeBlanc - Coyote (ATO records

12. Ole Kirkeng - Still not lost (Die with your Boots on)
— Ole Kirkeng blander countryrock og pubrock med solid spilling på Geir Sundstøl-produsert debutalbum.
13. Hiss Golden Messenger - Jump for Joy (Merge records)
—Hiss Golden Messenger finner grooven. DEN grooven.
14. Israel Nash - Ozarker (Loose)
— Israel Nash fortsetter å lage ambisiøse americana-plater, alltid med sterke melodier i sentrum.
15. Jesper Lindell - Windows vol. 1 (Gamlestans Grammonbolag/ Brunnsvik Sounds)
— Mens vi venter på oppfølgeren til scandicana-klassikeren Twilights, et minialbum med Jesper og Dylan-fiolinist Scarlett Rivera. Fem knallsterke låter.
16. Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives - Altitude (Snakefarm)
— Marty Stuart og band i Oslo Konserthus i fjor høst var Big Deal. Her tar de av for de høyere skylag med psykedelisk countryrock.
17. Jaime Wyatt - Feel Good (New West)
— Jamie Wyatt rykker frem i teten av country-soul-sangere.
18. Black Pumas - Chronicles of a Diamond (ATO)
— Austins stoltheter er fremst på moderne soul.
19. Margo Cilker - Valley of Heart´s delight (Loose)
— Margo Cilker beviser at hun har kommet for å bli.
20. Various Artists - More than a Visper: Celebrating the Music of Nanci Griffith (Rounder)
