Good list. Pleased to see that Hayden album there. A few things for me to check out as well.

Your list is definitely reminding me of some things I forgot.

They are, and on the whole, I'd say this is the best album they've done.

Not Hayden's best album (I can think of maybe 2-3 better), but pretty good.

It's good to see #9 and #11 on your list.

I had no idea Josh Rouse had a new record.

Did you ever give The Olms a listen? It's a collaboration between Pete Yorn & JD King. I think you would like a couple of the Yorn tracks. They sound like his debut.
