Top 2009 recordings

This is a bit late, but indulge me if its been covered. Looking back at last year I realized I didn't do enough listening for a variety of lame reasons, mostly starting with a "w". My resolution this year is to find at least one new recording a week for 2010 so that won't happen again. However, I still missed a bunch from last year. So what are your favorite recordings released last year?

I like your resolution, whatever your 'w' reason is. To more directly answer your question, in no particular order, here are my favorite releases from 2009 that I continue to enjoy beyond just a flash in the pan:

Antony & The Johnsons, "The Crying Light"
Melody Gardot, "My One and Only Thrill"
Anouar Brahem, "The Astounding Eyes of Rita"
Madeleine Peyroux, "Bare Bones"
Rickie Lee Jones, Balm In Gilead
Regina Spektor, "Far"
Tom Waits, "Glitter and Doom" (not great SQ)
Arvo Part, "In Principio"
Alexi Murdoch, "Towards the Sun" (limited release)
The Swell Season, "Strict Joy"

Kmulkey - That wasn't one of them! And yes, one was work, also wallet.

Drubin - Thats a bit older than 2009, but they do affect the wallet ;)

Jax2 - thanks! I'll check into a few of those. I've been realy enjoying the Gardot, and heard a couple by Alexi Murdoch that sound interesting.

I've been spinning "Get Lucky" - Mark Knopfler quite a bit
