Top Ten or so albums for 2009

I know that many of you who read this blog wonder what my assessment of the 2009 goods are. One of my rules when picking albums were that they had to completely shake me and make me think about deeper things in life. Some of the albums on this list made me think deeper about my faith and deeper about my marriage and deeper about a whole bunch of wonderful and scary things. At the end of the list are a few that didn't quite make it, but were really good, just didn't compel me as much as the others.

So in no particular order...(With links to artist pages on left and where to purchase the album on the right)


Andy Gullahorn-The Law of Gravity













Andy Osenga-Choosing Sides












Sara Groves-Fireflies and Songs

Eric Peters-Chrome
