Here's a smokin' set of this year's best records from Harp, Strange Magic, Sofia Kourtesis, Triptides, Molly Burch, MJ Lenderman, Daniel Donato, George Clanton, and Slaughter Beach, Dog!
That Harp album came in a little late for my AOTY list this year but I’m almost positive it’ll be one of my “2023 Misses” a year from now when I’m pulling together my 2024 AOTY list. That Molly Burch album is fantastic and only just missed out on my top 50 this year.
Also, I’ll have to check out the live MJ Lenderman. I did really love Boat Songs, and his playing with Wednesday, who are getting loads of accolades this year. It’s the rare standout live album so I’m glad you found it stellar.
Lots of stuff for me to check out in January....was waiting for the George Clanton pick to appear! You are the one to turn me on to him and for that I’m grateful.
But even more than that, I had no idea Harp finally has a new album! Holy moly! I saw Midlake twice, once with and once without Tim Smith. Both were excellent. I’ve only played the one song you shared but that was enough to make me beyond excited. I can imagine Albion making my best of list if it was released two months ago.

The Slaughter Beach, Dog record is awesome, and thanks for getting it on my radar when it came out!
