What were your top musical discoveries of 2024?


Looking for music that was new to you and your collection that lit you and your system up last year.

Here’s my list:

Vinyl - 

UHQR version of Steely Dan “Asia”

Original Master Recording of Grateful Dead’s “Workingman’s Dead”

Digital files - 

Mac Miller “Circles”

Iron & Wine “The Shepherds Dog”

Jacob Collier “Djesse Vol.2”

Mokave “Afrique”

Skrillex “Quest for Fire”

Beyonce “Cowboy Carter”

CD -

Sinead O’Conner “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got”

 

This is at least what is top of mind.

A lot of blues songs I heard on BB King’s Bluesville on XM radio while out driving around.  Many are older artists and songs.  For example last year, Walter Trout who I somehow missed along the way.  Great guitarist and singer.  Joe Bonamassa has a show on the station and he plays a lot of great stuff including collaborations with other artists.  

Antonio Forcione Quartet Live

Sophie Zelmani Live in China

BRENT Lewis Drumsex

I have so many discovered on Qobuz I can’t even list them all.  The thought that came to mind is how sad it is for those who continue to live in streaming denial as I l wouldn’t have found most of my treasured new discoveries without it.

Great call on Muriel Grossman!

You should also check out Ingrid Laubrock. I think she is a better composer.
