Post here - favorite new album of 2015

what has been your favorite so far this year?

Tops for me has been 'Sing Into My Mouth' from Iron & Wine and Ben Bridwell. The album is actually a bunch of covers but such a great selection of songs from The Talking Heads (album name is a lyric from the song), Ronny Lane, Sade, and Pete Seeger to name a few. Amazing sound, saw them live in Philly a few weeks back and it was amazing show!

Best re-issue- 'CODA' - Led Zeppelin. Page Duda great job with what was a crappy afterthought and add 2 bonus CDs of amazing LZ material some never heard before.

What's been your favor albums of 2015?

I have loved this band for decades and this new release is a gem. It's got a few covers, including the Cure's Friday I'm in Love and I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. Definitely worth a listen.
