FTM's Favorite Albums of 2014: Very Honorable Mentions
Being mentioned here while still outside the top 50 may seem like a slight to these albums, but in a year I listened to 200+ new albums and sampled countless others, these were all worthy of hours of play each. Also, it was a consistently strong year for music (if not as full of stone cold classics as some) so there was a lot of good stuff to choose from. This is just one guy's opinion (next year FTM will likely begin having a composite list from our 3 contributors plus me), so sometimes it's not about actual quality of an album, but how it affected me on an emotional, critical and intellectual level. These are all very strong releases.

If _____ Wrote a Christmas Song...
If Cole Swindell wrote a Christmas song…
You're my only Christmas wish
With lips like cherry shine
In my truck bed with bows and twine
That's how I made you mine
You're my only Christmas wish
With lips like cherry shine
In my truck bed with bows and twine
That's how I made you mine
If Run the Jewels wrote a Christmas song…
Shut the f**k up and lend me your ear
F**kboys know it's that time of year
Fat motherf**ker coming down the chimney
Run them jewels Santa, take that sack home empty
Shut the f**k up and lend me your ear
F**kboys know it's that time of year
Fat motherf**ker coming down the chimney
Run them jewels Santa, take that sack home empty
If Lorde wrote a Christmas song…
I'm kind of over getting told to rock around the Christmas tree, so there
So all the eggnog got spilled there on the gifts but it wasn't my fault

If Chris Tompkins wrote a Christmas song…
I just got through delivering toys all over the world
X-box Ones and Frozen dolls for all the bros and girls
Fireball and cookies for me, the reindeer know the way
I'm getting drunk in a sleigh
If Sturgill Simpson wrote a Christmas song…
Poinsettias swirling round and round
Green and red on thread on thread
Walk that line to Santa's lap
And he whispers "Sonny, it's all crap."

More Saturday Night Music: Travis Meadows
If you don't know of Travis Meadows, now's the time to meet him. He's a Mississippi-born songwriter with an amazing story. He writes killer tunes about real life. He's currently experiencing quite a year for a writer - the title track on Dierks Bentley's newest album, Jake Owen's new single, and one of the stronger tunes on Eric Church's recent album. Here's "Learning to Live Alone."

FTM Praise: The Kiss of Commercial Death
With Jon Pardi's "What I Can't Put Down" struggling to find footing on the charts, I came to this realization. You can pretty much guarantee that if Farce the Music really likes a mainstream country single, the song will not have a whiff of the top 10 on the country charts. Don't believe me? Here are some commercial country singles we enjoyed, and their peaks on the US Country Chart.
Chris Young "Neon" - 23 (2012)
Sunny Sweeney "Staying's Worse Than Leaving" - 38 (2011)
Chris Stapleton "What Are You Listening To" - 46 (2013)
Charlie Worsham "Want Me Too" - 46 (2014)
Lee Ann Womack "Solitary Thinkin'" - 39 (2009)
Alan Jackson "So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore" - 25 (2012)
Kacey Musgraves "Blowin' Smoke" - 31 (2013)
Gary Allan "It Ain't the Whiskey" - 40 (2013)
Julie Roberts "Wake Up Older" - 46 (2005)
Brandy Clark "Stripes" - (did not chart) (2013)
Dierks Bentley "Draw Me a Map" - 33 (2010)
Little Big Town "Your Side of the Bed" - 29 (2013)
