Favourite Albums of 2009

Okay, rather belatedly as ever here are my album choices for last year. As ever, not all the albums were actually released last year (the original release date is in brackets). All these albums (some old some new) were new to me and made a lasting impact on my iPod.

I will try and get round to writing a potted review of each sometime some in the meantime … here is the list.
  1. Bill Wells and Maher Shalal Hash Baz – Gok (2009)
  2. Various Artists - New Thing! Deep Jazz in the USA - Soul Jazz (2005)
  3. Lee Fields - My World (2009)
  4. The Fall – Imperial Wax Solvent (2008)
  5. Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle (2009)
  6. Various Artists - The New Dictionary Of Blues And Soul (comp Mojo magazine) (2009)
  7. Various Artists - Take Me to the River: a Southern Soul Story 1961-1977 (2008)
  8. Fela Kuti – Expensive Shit/He Miss Road (1975)
  9. Laura Nyro - Stoned Soul Picnic: The Best Of Laura Nyro (1997)
  10. Whitest Boy Alive – Dreams (2006)
  11. Portico Quartet – Isla (2009)
