In 2017 I purchased 22 new release albums on CD – I’m still old school you see. None disappointed, but the ten I’ve listed, mostly not meant to be in any particular order, were the stand outs for me. I’ve placed Pete Murray at the top of the list though. His laid-back summery super-cool sounds never cease to remind me of my favourite season of the year
Pete Murray – ‘Comancho’
Laura Marling – ‘Semper Femina’
The Waifs – ‘Ironbark’
London Grammar – ‘Truth is a Beautiful Thing’
Colin Hay – ‘Fierce Mercy’
Mick Thomas – ‘These are the Songs’
Various – ‘Outlaw: Celebrating the Music of Waylon’
Josh Ritter – ‘Gathering’
Holly Throsby – ‘After a Time’
XX – ‘I See You’
