    Black Country Communions' new album - Afterglow.
    Group includes Glen Hughes (ex Deep Purple), Joe Bonamassa (probably the best modern day blues/rock guitarist), Jason Bonham (son of John)
    Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.

    Sounds interesting. Have to check it out.

    Dylan's new album, Tempest. Not his best, but lyrically interesting and he's clearly embracing his age.

    Oh, and Blunderbuss by Jack White was this year too, wasn't it?
  • Parkway Drive - Atlas
  • Jackamo Brown: Oh No. The Drift of the World. Very sparse folk music and probably not to most peoples liking. A nice point of interest is I play all the steel string guitars on it..
  • Willits + Sakamoto 'Ancient Future' (Ghostly International)
  • Erica Nockalls - Imminent Room

    Hmmm.

    Can't really add much as I only bought 2 new releases. :oops:

    Joe Bonamassa - Driving Towards The Daylight - Good but after repeated plays it doesn't stand the test IMHO.
    Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball - A bit different but definitely a grower. I am biased though having seen the tour in New Jersey.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Star Wheel Press: Life cycle of a falling bird.

    because a) it's quite obscure, and b) the front man is a friend

    Godspeed you Black Emperor - Allelujah Don't Bend
    Earth - Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II
    ZZ Top - La Futura (no really)

    But I know what the OP means, it's hardly been a stellar year for new albums.

  • If you like the magic of rawk, top hats and Les Pauls, try Apocalyptic Love by Slash (with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators). If you don't - er, don't.
