And my album of the year judging from the one that's received the most listening time here at home, in my car or on the media player at work .... and that I often find myself singing along to (like they could use my assistance on the harmony vocals) would be The Jayhawks new record. A very close second place to Heart Like a Levee by Hiss Golden Messenger. On any given day, it might be my number one.
