This week No Depression posted a list of the best roots albums of 2024 so far. I contributed…but of course only a couple of my picks got on the list.
So to give you something to listen to over your July 4 weekend, I figured I’d post my personal exciting list too. Here it is!
10. Sue Foley—One Guitar Woman
9. Swamp Dogg—Bluegrass From West Virginia to 125th Street
8. Cedric Burnside—Hill Country Love
7. Arooj Aftab—Night Reign
6. Lost Dog Street Band—Survived
