Robert Johnson — The Centennial Collection
All of the blues great's tunes on two CDs.
Starlings, TN — How Dark It Is Before the Dawn
Easily the most crushingly sad album I've heard this year
Emily Arin — Patch of Land
Baffling, awe-inspiring and calming all at once
U.S. Royalty — Mirrors
Vital folk celebrating the Midwest
Parker Millsap and Michael Rose — Palisade
Brandi Carlile — Live at Benaroya Hall with the Seattle Symphony
Singer/songwriter's powerful voice successfully gets the 'with strings!' treatment
Bob Dylan — In Concert: Brandeis University
A must-have for Dylan collectors
Matt the Electrician — Accidental Thief
Maybe the Avetts’ long-lost brother?
Chris Bathgate — Salt Year
He's in the ring with folk's heavy hitters, but he's not a knockout yet
The Low Anthem — Smart Flesh
Almost the model of a brilliant folk band
