Another Point of View

Too hard to separate my three top music releases of 2021.

Allison Russell
Outside Child

James McMurtry
The Horses and the Hounds

The Weather Station
Ignorance
I think it was a truly great year as the Rodney Crowell (Triage), Yola (Stand For Myself) or Alison Krauss & Robert Plant (Raise The Roof) records, for example, didn’t make my very best. And all three are great. The rest of my top twenty I don’t need in any particular order, so here they are alphabetically.
