I’m a bit late to release my favourite albums of 2019. This
is because when the year was coming to the end, I felt like I hadn’t paid
enough attention to the new albums to come up with a good top10 list. It’s not
that I haven’t heard any good new music, but compared to earlier years, I’ve
had less time to listen to music. Partly this is because I started a new job
where I have less time than before to listen to music while I work. My feeling
is that 2019 was quite a good year in music. This is a list of good 10 albums
from that year, but I can by no means claim that these are the best 10 from
that year, since I feel like I haven’t spent enough time exploring what’s out
there. Still, I want to get this out there. This year's list includes lots of country, Americana and folk sounds. It's probably not that fashionable at the moment, so it tells a lot more about my personal taste at the moment. There are also quite a few female singer-songwriters on this list. Some of the years on this blog have been quite male-dominated, so I really welcome the new wave of excellent albums by women.
