So far in 2012 I really like:

Bonnie Raitt-Slipstream
Norah Jones-Little Broken Hearts
Dar Williams-In the Time of God
Cowboy Junkies-The Wilderness

Can't wait for the new Joe Bonamassa. I've heard a few tunes already and it should be very good.
Not sure if it qualifies as rock, but I just picekd up a copy of "Boys and Girls" by "Alabama Shakes". Phenomenal stuff.
So far I've only collected vinyl, but here goes:

George Harrison: Early Takes Vol. 1
Dr. John: Locked Down
Farrar, Johnson, Parker, Yames: New Multitudes (Guthrie Tribute)
Springsteen: Wrecking Ball
Trembling Bells/Bonnie Prince Billy: The Marble Downs
The Magnetic Fields: Love at the Bottom of the Sea
M. Ward: A Wasteland Companion
Widespread Panic: Live Wood
Leonard Cohen: Old Ideas
Black Francis: The Golem(rereleased on LP)
Ditto Bonnie Raitt

The George Harrison demo tracks are priceless.
