I really haven't come across any albums that are brilliant this year (though I haven't picked up the Bob Dylan yet); so I'm just going to recommend one very underrated old chestnut. Well not that old (about five years). Joe Henry's Scar; the best album of this incredibly talented singer/songwriter/producer. Especially recommended for those who enjoy old (Heart Attack and Vine, and earlier) Tom Waits stuff. Some great guest performances by Ornette Coleman, Marc Ribot and Brad Mehldau.
