Terry Wilson “T-Bar” Top Ten lists of 2004<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Top 10 CDs, or was that 11<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

#1: Ray Lamontagne – Trouble (RCA) If you by one CD this year this is it. The voice of an angel.<\/p>\n

Chuck Prophet – Age of Miracles (New West) Quirky Folk Pop. Can’t get enough of this guy.<\/p>\n

Buddy Miller – Universal United House of Prayer (New West). Every song paints a masterpiece.<\/p>\n

Jim White – Drill a Hole (Luaka Bop) Great songwriter and storyteller. A wonderful twisted journey.<\/p>\n

Loretta Lynn – Van Lear Rose (Interscope) Jack White makes us remember how great Miss Lynn is. This CD kicks butt.<\/p>\n

Jesse Malin – The Heat (Artemis). New York rocker bares his soul to create one of the year’s best.<\/p>\n

Jon Dee Graham – The Great Battle (New West). Gravely voice singing the sweetest songs you’ve never heard.<\/p>\n

Slaid Cleaves – Wishbones (Philo). One of Texas’s finest delivers with this album of emotional songs of real life and people.<\/p>\n

Eliza Gilkyson – Land of Milk and Honey (Redhouse). Beautiful voice and great songs. One sweet dream.<\/p>\n

Los Lonely Boys – Los Lonely Boys (Epic) The Garcia Brothers push all the right buttons on this disk. Tex-Mex never sounded so good.<\/p>\n
