Here are my end of month Rdio Top Albums. Some holdovers but lots of new stuff as well. Sleeping Operator from The Barr Brothers is now my lead candidate for Album of the Year. I recommend all of these.

The Barr Brothers – Sleeping Operator
The Greenberry Woods – Rapple Dapple
Cowboy Junkies – The Trinity Session
The Rolling Stones – Steel Wheels
The Head and the Heart – Let’s Be Still
Wilco – What’s Your 20? Essential Tracks 1994 – 2014
The Derek Trucks Band – Songlines

Beck – Sea Change
Warren Haynes Band – Live at the Moody Theater
M.Ward – A Wasteland Companion
Jenny Lewis – The Voyager

Here is the whole series.

Last month I posted my Rdio Top Albums as shown for the end of September. Here is the update for end of October. A pretty good assortment here, some old, some new, all worth a listen.

The Barr Brothers – Sleeping Operator
The Greenberry Woods – Rapple Dapple
The Head and the Heart – Let’s Be Still
The Barr Brothers – The Barr Brothers
The Derek Trucks Band – Songlines
Lenny Kravitz – Mama Said

The Rdio music service I use curates a “Top Albums” page based on my listening. I am not sure what criteria they use but I was thinking it might be interesting as an overview of the soundtrack for the month, and also to see how it changes over time.

Pick any album and give it a listen. I can’t imagine you being disappointed. All are obviously available on Rdio which offers a freebie plan or a super cheap monthly fee for what I call their more than you can possibly listen to plan.
