These are the albums, songs and artists that shaped our 2019.  We call it favorites, because best is so subjective. These moved our needle, but perhaps you have other favorites…please drop them in the comments so people can discover them.   ALBUMS  Austin Meade – Waves Amped up follow-up to Meade’s debut LP, this collection picks up the Ragweed-esque torch and burns the joint to the ground.  Centered around Meade’s solid songwriting, but driven by the best riffs of the year. This is a windows down, speed up jammer. Chris Knight – Almost Daylight It would be hard for Chris Knight
