On the conclusion of our two-part year end extravaganza, it has all come down to this.

You have heard us discuss close to a 100 albums in 2024, and all of them are well worth your time, but in the end there is only room for 10 that we think are the best this year had to offer.

Thanks for listening. We’ll see ya next year.

On this edition of Discologist, Eduardo and Kevin are looking back to discuss some of their favorite releases of the year so far.

On ‘Water Still Flows’, veteran of the Nashville indie rock scene Mike Ruth has built upon the sounds of his critically acclaimed 2020 release “I Survived, It’s Over” to deliver a brash, beautiful, and spiritual explosion of sound unlike anything you've heard this year. Ruth discusses the new album, thoughts on making art with the tools available, and more on this edition of Discologist.

Over the past few decades Country has dominated the music industry by embracing pop and hip-hop sensibilities, which makes Joshua Hedley's debut album Mr. Jukebox all that more refreshing. Forget "saving" country music, Hedley is merely laying down some great storytelling with a little twang, a time-tested recipe for feeling good, even if you're feeling bad. Kevin, Marcus, and Eduardo are taking a spin with this surprise hit of 2018, so come along for the ride and feel the love!

PLUS! Philadelphia, PA's Hop Along is back with a new record - Bark Your Head Off, Dog - and it's giving Eduardo ALL of the feels so we're spinning a track to get your heart swelling along with him. 

Stoner metal legends Sleep are back with a surprise new album - their first in almost twenty years - that dropped on that highest of holidaze, 4/20. Are the heady trio's new jams worth the wait, or are they skunked like so many lost bags of dirtweed? Kevin and Paul have got the hookup and aim to find out.

PLUS! Joachim Cooder's new album Fuchsia Machu Picchu confirms that genius runs in the family and we're spinning it's tasty new single for you to get lost in!

In 2016 Nashville's Margo Price garnered nationwide attention with her debut album Midwest Farmers Daughter. Released on Jack White's Third Man Records, Daughter harkened back to a "purer" form of country music (Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton) that immediately struck a chord with the Saving Country Music crowd and music criterati alike. 

All American Made, Price's sophomore release, finds the Nashville staple not just sticking to her country bona fides but speaking out about some of the pressing social issues that we all face in 2017. We're digging deep into this civic-minded salvo to find out if Price hits her mark, or if she has fallen victim to the dreaded sophomore slump.
