So below you will find three lists. My CD list includes my top ten choices of non-jazz albums that I listened to for the first time, this year. I went through fazes of intense listening to blues and country-alt which you will find represented in this list. For the past month I have been listening to jazz, jazz, and more jazz; so I created a special category for this genre. And then finally, I list my top ten musical DVDs.
In each case, I put my very favorite at the top of the list, but the others are randomly ordered. And remember, these are not necessarily new recordings. They were simply new to me in 2010.

Great post, Mr. Baker! You’ve got some great names on your non-Jazz list, especially Rosanne Cash, Joe Bonamassa, Derek Trucks, Arcade Fire, Lucinda Williams, Silversun Pickups, and LR & EJ. So basically the whole list is awesome haha I’ll definitely have to check out the jazz albums and the DVDs.
A high compliment coming from you Alessi. After all you are my popular music mentor!
Thanks for the lists -- I'll be checking out some of these!
