Albums of the year 2022: 40-31

2022 has been a terrific year in country and Americana and that’s shown by the number of records that made it onto the long list for consideration this year. Here you’ll find numbers 31-40 on my list. Reminder, the list is albums I’ve enjoyed the most, not the best per se as who’s to say what best is.

31. Meredith Lazowski - Other Way Home

32. Zach Bryan - Summertime Blues

33. Amanda Shires - Take It Like A Man

34. Hailey Whitters - Raised

35. Jenny Tolman - Married In A Honky Tonk

36. John Fullbright - The Liar

37. Nikki Lane - Denim & Diamonds

38. Kelsea Ballerini - Subject To Change

39. John Moreland - Birds In The Ceiling

40. William Clark Green - Baker Hotel

Keep an eye out for the next chunk of albums, 21-30. If you want to listen to any of the above then the clickable album covers will take you to the Bandcamp page to buy, or you can stream them all from your preferred streaming service. I recommend Tidal.
