My favorites so far: Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds in Country Music Sun Kil Moon - Benji The War on Drugs - Lost in a Dream Future Islands - Singles I need to check out English Oceans.

Not a big show person, so small shows: Mark Kozelek, 2012 Unitarian Church, Philly New Multitudes (Jay Farrar, Jim James, etc) 2013 Philly

Mark has been my favorite contemporary artist ever since I first discovered Ghosts (and April around the same time). AFP blew me away. I pretty much enjoy whatever he does, and that mostly applies to this release as well. Fav tracks are Ben's My Friend, Richard Ramirez, Carissa, and I Watched The Film. Still, I will always be partial to AFP and songs like Young Love and Black Kite, as well as the live album releases.

Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill

Surely you like more than 1-2 songs from Jay Farrar...

Suicide Demo for Kara Walker - Destroyer Any song off of Admiral Fell Promises - Sun Kil Moon

lol, dad rock forum

As a devoted Koz fan, I have been listening to this a lot as well. For me, "Tavoris Cloud" and "Katowice or Cologne" are also standout tracks.

Ryan Adams' guitar at one point was the Buck Owens look-a-like model... so I think that fact along with what others said above means that he is probably referring to the new stuff. Love JTE but he must have not heard Daniel Romano before...He is making country music.

Mark Kozelek and Jimmy LaValle - Perils from the Sea Mark Kozelek and Desertshore - S/T Heirlooms of August - Down at the Five-Star Daniel Romano - Come Cry With Me Son Volt - Honky Tonk Pure Bathing Culture - Moon Tides

One of my favorites. RIP
