My top five albums of 2018 + two runners-up

These are the records that wound their way into my musical heart during 2018. I do not intend this to be any kind of 'critics' list of Great Music. Just stuff I enjoyed for a variety of reasons.

Top Five

La Luz "Floating Features"
Bombino "Deran"
The Liminanas "Shadow People"
Death Valley Girls "Darkness Rains"
Richard Thompson "13 Rivers"

Honorable mention

Ron Gallo "Stardust Birthday Party"
Tomorrows Tulips "Harnessed To Flesh"
