The Past Is Still Alive is AOTY for me already... and it was released in February. So much other good music has been released, but it's also been difficult for me to not compare it to Alynda Segarra.
Other favs for me are Emily Nenni's Drive & Cry and Leyla McCalla's Sun Without the Heat.
And to cheat a little bit, I hadn't listened to Louis Michot's Reve du troubadour last fall until I saw him perform live in New Orleans a month ago. It's since become one of my most played albums this year. The way Louis takes Cajun music and modernizes it while paying respect to the past and innovating at the same is beyond impressive.
