Top 10 Songs of 2015

In no particular order.

Punch Brothers - "I Blew It Off"

The perfect combination of Beach Boys and the cool side of bluegrass. This ain't your granddaddies string band!

Django Django - "Shake and Tremble"

I love how this tune kind of re-purposes surf-guitar licks, yet Django Django doesn't sound like the Ventures. I love that you can actually dance to it, too!

Tame Impala - "Let It Happen"

This one is a bargain for your buck. It's like four songs in one and it's all good!

Robert Plant - "Little Maggie"

This old folk/blues tune is my favorite cover of the year.

Leon Bridges - "Better Man"

Not only does Leon Bridges have a honey voice, he's got songs!

Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats - "S.O.B."

This sing-a-long gospel workout will make you want a drink when it's over!

Rayland Baxter - "Yellow Eyes"

I love everything about this one. Just a gorgeous melody along with Rayland's soulful and passionate vocal.

On An On - "Drifting"

I find myself mesmerized by the beauty of this song. It's a hit in my world!

Father John Misty - "The Ideal Husband"

This rocker is a nice changeup for FJM!

Dawes - "Things Happen"

I was beginning to lose faith in Dawes until this edgier track came along on their latest album.
