Suite 101 salutes indie artists with our List of Ten Great Indie Albums. Each of these ten albums are exceptional in terms of sound, heart, and intent. Rock on, indies!
We don't intend this list to be a "Best of" kinda thing.... We have enough to do whittling down our list of the "Year's Best" overall, coming out on November 15. But in that process we've noted the great contributions made by these artists who have put it all on the line, and we consider that worthy of great respect.
We will be putting out these lists of "Ten Great" one a week or so up to November 15th, when our list of the "Year's Best" comes out. Look for Ten Great Songs, Ten Great Worship Albums, etc. And let us know what lists you're looking for, or make suggestions. We're listening.
Without further ado, Suite's list of Ten Great Indie Albums, in no particular order:
The John Reilly Band: While I Was on Earth
Alli Rogers: The Day of Small Things
The Michael Gungor Band: Ancient Skies
Carolyn Arends: Pollyanna's Attic
Sleeping at Last: Keep No Score
Talk amongst yourselves; let us know your thoughts on this one, and future lists and suggestions. Thanks.
