25 Best New Songs released in 2013 (Videos)
This is my list… just need to get it out..
I need to confess that I listen to way more “old” music during a year. Lot’s of old bootlegs & old classics. Hallgeir (my partner in crime here @ JV) is the one always checking out new music, and giving me input.
Anyways, I manage to get my share and there were many great albums released this year as well. For me Jason Isbell’s “Southeastern” was number uno.. by quite a distance, but a late runner: John Moreland’s “In The Throes” came knockin’ when the polls were closing.
I only allow a maximum of 2 songs each artist.
Top 25
- Jason Isbell – Elephant

I buried her a thousand times,
giving up my place in line,
but I don’t give a damn about that nowThere’s one thing that’s real clear to me,
no one dies with dignity.
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.Continue reading 25 Best New Songs released in 2013 (Videos)
Best albums of 2013 number 15 to 6
Part one: The best albums 2013 25-16
15. The South – The Further Inside You Go…
Musically The South are even more at “the west-coast” of USA this time, the country aspect is toned down (but there are traces of it still – great steel-guitar and some honky-tonk piano, I like that they haven’t abandoned it all.) It has that very recognizable guitar sound (“The South-sound”), but it has more “space” and is more dreamy in a way.
“We didn’t have that specific discussion this time, we told him (Bent Sæther, producer) a bit about what we wanted, in what direction we would like to go. “A bigger canvas” was an expression that came about early on. We wanted not to rush it, to give the songs more time.”
– Alexander Pettersen
The South is also an incredibly good live band, catch them if you get the chance!
I know you wanted me to grow up tall
Not sure that I am man enough just yet to face it all
I know this isn’t what you had in mind at all
I hope it helps to know I’ll pick you up each time you fall

Hallgeir: Different Eyes, The further inside you go…, Dad
