Well folks for those of you that do actually know me you know darn well I spend countless hours at home listening to albums and researching bands to feature on here. I have found a treasure trove of new 2016 music that didn’t make my TOP 50 list of 2016 but however DID reserve the right to be included within their own article so it could be brought out to the public as well.
First and foremost this article isn’t going anywhere and I’ll try my best to provide links to all these albums and provide you with an opportunity to buy what you like on it. Some of these bands and titles I have not bought a copy of on physical CD or vinyl I just have electronically. I’ll go back over it in January and buy the rest of it if I know I’ll not be seeing them on the road.
You know 2016 has indeed been a rough year so far on deaths in Country Music and just as it has brought out some great new music it has taken some pretty damn good Legends of Country Music as well. Springtime was especially rough for me as a fan to be honest.
Those that know me know I also spend hours watching music and going to shows, and attending festivals. I love to be around it and I love visiting all my friends in different areas and seeing new places. I have been truly blessed in the past few years with all my new experiences and discoveries, so without further blabbing here’s a list of honorable mentions of new music from 2016:
