What did I miss?
I had tickets but missed the Jason Isbell show in Boone, choosing instead to watch my kid in a soccer tournament just an hour away (I didn't choose the dad life, the dad life chose me). To make up for that I attended the Revivalists show in New Orleans with Lynne Lewis the night before the Southern meetings. I've been listening to Men Amongst Mountains ever since. And it is the only album my kids will listen to with me (and they are now to the point where it is all they want to listen to in the car).
Sadly, this might be the last year for my top 10 list, in this form. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to wean myself off CDs (don't laugh) and I'm not sure if people actually listen to albums on Spotify, or whatever.
