Music for 2022- Is It Just Me Or?..

Hello All!

December is now here and I realize that I have not purchased as much music this year. Being a Redbook guy I normally buy an average of 150-200 titles a year. So far this year-30 (and it’s not for lack of looking). I’m getting another order ready and have only 25 titles that want to own so far.

So- I wanted to put this question out to the group to see if it’s just me thinking this or if others feel the same- 

Have you found 2022 do be a boring year when it comes to new and interesting music?

Not talking about reissued “one more for the road” stuff.

What do you listen to? I must admit that since I bought a streamer and a subscription, I have only bought a few CD’s.  The day something comes out, it’s out there and usually in high res, which I can’t get on a CD.

I’m always looking for new music- there’s a catalog that I use which comes out 2-3 times a year, the rest of the time I check new releases on “Album Of The Year” (website that tracks new releases). There’s also Bandcamp- which is also helpful.

As for style or genre it’s across the board (excluding country/rap/hip hop or punk). Anything I find compelling. There just didn’t seem to be as much out there this year- wondering if anyone else that felt the same.

New music by new artists? Or, new music by established Artists/Bands?

If I purchase New music by new Artists/bands, it is Jazz releases. Otherwise, I purchase Anniversary editions of landmark/ground-breaking albums and Re-issues of Classic releases.

 

Happy Listening!
