I just thought that was a rather weak/disappointing album and I guess I had no idea that blog land thought it was so good, since I wasn't a part of the community at the time.

Here are a bunch of worthwhile releases I came across (for posterity)--some are worthy of contention for the best of the year. Ashley Monroe - <em>Satisfied</em> (The original digital release...I think) Alison Krauss - <em>A Hundred Miles or More</em> Adam Hood - <em>Different Groove</em> Billy Joe Shaver - <em>Everybody's Brother</em> Corb Lund - <em>Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier!</em> Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver- <em>More Behind the Picture Than the Wall</em> Drew Kennedy - <em>Dollar Theatre Movie</em> Jamey Johnson - <em>That Lonesome Song</em> (The original release!) Jason Eady - <em>Wild Eyed Serenade</em> Jesse Dayton & Brennen Leigh - <em>Holdin' Our Own</em> John Anderson - <em>Easy Money</em> Johnny Bush - <em>Kashmere Garden Mud</em> Josh Turner - <em>Everything Is Fine</em> Levon Helm - <em>Dirt Farmer</em> Lyle Lovett - <em>It's Not Big It's Large</em> Owen Temple - <em>Two Thousand Miles</em> Randy Kohrs - <em>Old Photograph</em> Rodney Hayden - <em>Down the Road</em> Teddy Thompson - <em>Up Front and Down Low</em> Well crap, I went through iTunes and was reminded of all the good albums from 2007.

They're a Canadian reggae band, which shows you how much I thought of country music at the time. However, since then, I've bought the Alison Krauss & Robert Plant collaboration, Corb Lund's <i>Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier!</i> and Ryan Bingham's <i>Mescalito</i>, so I guess the year wasn't as bad as I once thought.

Lambert's album is from 2007? Well, I'm with Dan then. I couldn't get into McKenna though. Ooh! Lambert’s album is from 2007? Well, I’m with Dan then. I couldn’t get into McKenna though.

That and Yearwood. Honorable mentions to Lori McKenna's <i>Unglamorous</i> and the Rimes album. But I think you nailed most of the essentials.

I think this list is solid, but the Yearwood album could easily replace the Yoakam. I'll have to stretch my brain back to 2007 though. I think it's cool that you found this. I don't know that I'd expect a much different list from this, post blog fever. Yeah, that’s how I feel about the Yoakam album too.

I might trade out the Yoakam, which was nice but inessential. To me, the Yearwood disc is the most glaring omission: it’d probably be at or near the top if I were doing this today.

Otherwise very solid. LeAnn Rimes’ “Family” and Trisha Yearwood’s “Heaven, Heartache And The Power of Love” is sorely missing from this list. Otherwise very solid.
