I have a lot of unfocused thoughts about 2020, so I'll leave the pontifications about the year that passed to other folks. The only thing I'll say is that I'm grateful for the fact that artists continued to make music during what must have been an incredibly stressful and anxiety-ridden time for them (and other artists). So if you have a little money you don't know what to do with, I'd especially recommend the releases from
Emma Swift,
Clem Snide,
Terry Allen,The Mavericks, and the
Sun Ra Arkestra.
As usual, I've only included artists who weren't on the two previous years compilations. I'
ve also re-upped all my previous best of compilations 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016,
2017, 2018,
2019).
Here's hoping everyone has a much better 2021!!
