Carrie & Lowell — 2015

A hushed, devastating meditation on his late mother, stripped back to whispered vocals and fingerpicked guitar. Almost unbearably intimate. A modern folk masterpiece. Later in the run, but no less essential.

On vinyl: Modern pressing, modern availability — look for it new before searching for second-hand copies.
