Top Five Country Albums of 2004

Top Five Alt. Country Albums of the Year:
-by Wanda
1. Dexter Romwebber - Blues that Defy My Soul (Yep Roc)
2. Legendary Shack Shakers - Believe (Yep Roc)
3. Slim Cessna's Auto Club - The Blovdy Tenent (Alternative Tentacles)
4. Meat Purveyors - Pain by Numbers (Bloodshot)
5. Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose (Interscope)

Tribute Albums: 1. VA: Hard Headed Woman - A Celebration of Wanda Jackson (Bloodshot)
2. Touch My Heart - A Tribute to Johnny Paycheck

Reissue/Compilation:
Love Snuck Up - Buddy and Julie Miller (Hightone)
I am not sure what to call this. It's a reissue, because all these songs, (save one) appeared on other albums. But it's also a compilation, because all these songs were never on one album together. See, it's a compilation of all Buddy and Julie's love songs and it's beautiful. I bought TWO copies; one for me, and one for my mom. Absolutely touching.
