Best of 2018 – So Far

This subject has been on my mind for like a month now.  There have been some really excellent albums, EPs and singles put out since December 1 2017.  Here are the top  album picks of the year so far, based on regional non-comm / public radio airplay and my own thoughts on the subject.

Anyone looking for rock or pop will be disappointed – roots, blues, old school rhythm and blues and Americana (alt-country) are the name of the game this year around the state.

I embedded song files.  Go to their youtube channels or other streaming service to checkout full albums.  Better yet – support the band with a purchase.

much love,

Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats – Tearing at the Seams — no doubt that this album will finish the year at #1 with a strong national showing, and ubiquitous CO airplay.

Leftover Salmon – Something Higher! — scan the non-comm/public radio dial statewide and this album, while not even nearly as popular as Tearing at the Seams, is crazy popular – as it should be since it’s one of the best the band has turned in over the past 25 years.

Wood Bros – One Drop of Truth —many people don’t realize that Chris and Oliver Wood are Boulder natives, and still claim it as home – even when they’re performing elsewhere.  Another HIGHLY played Colorado album around the state.

Reverend Freakchild – Dial It In! — the “reverend” is a traveler.  He was born in Hawaii and has been in bands in Boston, including an early version of Soul Coughing with Mike Doughty.  Today he’s living in Boulder and attending Naropa University.  For all my blues fans, this one is at the top of the pile. #highlyrecommended

Gasoline Lollipops – Soul Mine — Clay Rose is known for being pensive and deliberate – living at the edge of damnation and redemption.  The band is enjoying a banner year in terms of bookings and regional radio airplay.

This concludes the outdoor summer season at “The Mish” … I hope to see you there for this fantastic show.  Nathaniel & company blew the sod off the lawn at the conclusion of Bohemian Nights at New West Fest on Aug 16.  And that field held a few thousand people!  What WILL they do to the 1000 that can cram in the Mish’s yard?  You really don’t want to miss this.

 

The Colorado Sound S9 EP31 2015 – SPECIAL ED. BOHEMIAN NIGHTS @ NWF

It’s Tuesday … I lost a day I think.  I know I was at the Mishawaka Amphitheatre on Sunday with my son’s band and Chris Daniels & the Kings 11224102_10205836700008943_4417704871125413582_nand the Hazel Miller Band.  Yesterday I spent what seems like the entire day in my car on I25 – Longmont to the DTC to Fort Collins … so yeah, I guess I lost a day, huh?  Can’t seem to recall what I did on Saturday either.

Here’s what we looked like on stage
