Top 6 Albums of 2009

hello,
I used to post a lot about music on my blog here. However, I have been busy this year doing film projects and such and within those projects sharing a lot of the music i love. i will say that i have been a bit disappointed with the music this year. A lot of artist had promises with their new albums and i believe dropped the ball hard core. here are the top five albums that i loved this year. enjoy:

6) Sea Sew by Lisa Hannigan: Damien Rice's partner in crime, goes solo and delivers a wonderful project. It is one of those albums, that you can relax and feel like you are on a first date. Check out , "Teeth", "I Don't Know" and Ocean and a Rock.

5) Your Side Now by Trent Dabbs: Listen to the title track "Your Side Now" and Dear Jane", they are simple great songs. Fun to sing and actual have some meaning behind them.

4) Traces by Peter Bradley Adams: I was surprised about this album. It's pure americana sound and pleasure to listen too. Key songs to check out are "Traces", "Something About You Lately, and "From the Sky" and "Family Name".

3) The Road: Soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis: Just beautiful!

2) Back and Fourth by Pete Yorn: Listen to sobering song called "Social Development Dance", It strikes a core of lost memories and ghosts that step in and quickly out of your life.

1) Build Me This by Joshua James- You should check out the songs "pitchfork" and daniel". Pitchfork just reminds me of norman rockwell picture and is a lovely little tune. daniel is a powerful song about war and God. The entire album is struggle with loving life, faith within war and disagreeing with the world.
