Wow- I just listened to Dylan LeBlanc’s Coyote album and it’s killer. If I had heard it last year I think it would have made my top ten. For sure it would have had a song on my part 3 collection. Probably “Dark Waters.”

Gorgeous production, tasteful musicianship and his voice is fantastic. I’ll have to listen a few more times and pay attention to the lyrics, but it’s right in my wheelhouse.

That Dylan LeBlanc album is an absolute stunner, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I love finding new (to me) artists and albums like this, it’s one of the great joys of the musical discovery journey.

I am slowly getting through your top 15, most of which I hadn’t heard. I’m

listening to Tanlines and it’s driving me crazy because it reminds me of another band that I can’t put my finger on. It’s the vocals especially.

Regarding DadRock, I am also not a dad (except for dogs) but imagine I fit the description of a DadRock fan. I’m not sure what the difference is between DadRock and SadDadRock. I probably have to ask an actual sad dad.

Awesome selection! I enjoyed especially the song you've picked from the "Once Again We Are Children of the Sun" compilation - "Come and Take Me by the Hand", Dylan LeBlanc's "Coyote", and the last one from Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. You absolutely made my morning with these, thanks 🫶 Now I'm ready to check out whole albums

Somehow I missed this comment. Glad you enjoyed them! That “Once Again We Are Children of the Sun” compilation is certainly worth listening to in its entirety. It’s fantastic from start to finish!

Great list! I found 'Once Again We Are Children of the Sun' and bought a digital copy almost immediately. Closing track 'If Life Was A Ferris Wheel' is my favorite. It feels like it belongs at the end of a late 70s movie. It's sonic comfort food.

EDIT: That should say I found the record thanks to you!
