2018 Album of the Year- Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats: Tearing at the Seams
Since 2017, at the beginning of the year, I create a Playlist named for the current year. During the year, as a song strikes my fancy I drop it into that year's playlist. It could be a old song, could be a new one. The songs that fill each year often strike a sentimental tone or feeling based upon the events at that time. For instance, my 2018 playlist has a few Cranberries songs in memory of the death of Delores O' riordan. The Year started off musically with The War on Drugs and their sublime "Thinking of a Place". I think I listened to this long track at least 50 times. Japanese Breakfast make me blush and I even gave props to The Greatest Showman with the standout track "This is Me". Being the father of a little girl, this one made me smile. I had a slight Kurt Vile obsession after discovering Deluxe Daze(Post Haze), I still cant get enough of "Wakin on a Pretty Day". My go to girl, Neko Case dropped a new Album "Hell On". Favo
