Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – November

november-2016-calendar-full-page-1Strange month, November. That election didn’t help things – and we lost Leonard Cohen! And more besides (Leon Russell, Sharon Jones…) I didn’t write a lot of album reviews. I did share a lot of other things though – new essays and blog-posts, think-pieces, album reviews of classic old albums…a bit of theatre reviewing too. So I was busy writing – just not that many albums. And of the ones I did review there were a few stinkers. So it’s a smaller list this time of the must-hears, but that’s the point of a digest: Quality over Quantity. So there’s just eight albums here – and it’s a weird mix; most of them are from old has-beens and I didn’t expect them to be great but they are, or at the very least they get over the line. One or two great new things in there too though. Have at it…

Click here for the best albums I reviewed in November.

You’ll find reissues, compilations, EPs and live albums – as well as full-length studio releases. Most of the material here was released in 2015/16 but in some cases it was released in 2014 and only made it to me this year – or I only (finally) got to it this year.
