Sorry for the delay in getting the best of compilation completed. I would make a New Years resolution to be more punctual, but I don't think it would do any good. My tardiness should, however, not be seen as a reflection on the music released, as there was a lot of great music released. There's still a lot of releases that demand additional listens, but I particularly recommend Cindy Lee's
"Diamond Jubilee", Mulatu Astatke's
"Tension", and Clem Snide's
"Oh Smokey". I also would be remiss if I didn't mention two albums to benefit victims of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina:
Cardinals At The Window and
Caverns of Gold: A Benefit for WNC Hurricane Relief. I only discovered Caverns of Gold one three weeks ago so I haven't had much time to listen to it, but I've listened to about two thirds of Cardinals at the Window (it's 136 songs and Caverns of Gold has twice as many) and there's a lot of great live and unreleased cuts. Both are also insanely cheap so be sure to add a tip. :)
As always, I only included artists who weren't on the two previous years' compilations (unless they were singing backup on another artist's song). Also, all of the previous year end compilations are also available (
2009,
2010,
2011,
2012,
2013,
2014,
2015,
2016,
2017, 2018,
2019,
2020,
2021,
2022,
2023).
Oh, and if you're wondering about the cover art. Well, my youngest is a huge fan of capybaras, and the little one,
Tupi, was born in December.
