We’ve made it to the end of blogmas and I’ve saved the best of the year until last. It’s been great writing a post every day in December and I want to thank everyone for reading the blog this year!
So now for my favourite albums of the year by women artists. The list reflects my own personal listening and is not intended to be any kind of ‘best of’.
Please share yours in the comments! Click below to read my reviews of each album.
10) Mary Chapin Carpenter, Julie Fowlis & Karine Polwart – Looking for the Thread
9) Brennen Leigh – Don’t You Ever Give Up on Love
8) Valerie June – Owls, Omens & Oracles
7) Mavis Staples – Sad & Beautiful World
5) Caroline Spence – Heart Go Wild
4) I’m With Her – Wild & Clear & Blue
1) Margo Price – Hard Headed Woman
Thanks for reading and hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!
