Ten Favorite Albums of 2021 So Far: 1/3 Report

 The usual disclaimer: Our year-end list will be staff-voted; this is just Trailer’s list.

It’s been a weird year and I’ve listened to more old music than I have new, to be honest. I’ve still heard a lot of new stuff and I’m pretty sure these are my favorites, but it’s entirely possible I’ve completely left out an album I listened to multiple times and enjoyed. Feel free to let us know your favorites or make suggestions! 

1. Morgan Wade - Reckless

2. Carly Pearce - 29

3. Dallas Moore - The Rain

4. Laney Wilson - Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’

5. Triston Marez - s/t

6. Zach Schmidt - Raise a Banner

7. Loretta Lynn - Still Woman Enough

8. Melissa Carper - Daddy’s Country Gold

9. Austin Meade - Black Sheep

10. The Marfa Tapes

(this one may end up higher, but it's new so I haven't listened a lot yet)

Malcolm in the Middle Country Reaction Gifs

When Luke Bryan won Entertainer of the Year

When somebody plays you Luke's new song "Waves"

When somebody plays you Austin Meade's song "Waves"

When somebody handed you the aux cord, and you played some Cuttin' Grass

♫ We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us ♫

Why do you like Niko Moon?

When you check the mainstream country station to see if they've gotten any better

Hey, you wanna hear some Upchurch?

When your friends are embarrassed to be seen with you because you're a Chase Rice fan
