No contest for country album of the year, and probably one of the best of the decade.
It's been a pretty weak year over all, although i think folk and country has done well. Especially the women like Nikki Lane, Lydia Loveless, and a few others.
I probably have more female led vocals on my 2014 chart than i have on any other. _________________

You're chart is sooooooooo american. It's like a diner in here.
If I rated albums on a 5 star basis instead of out of 100 (think more like Amazon reviews), then 8 albums would have gotten a perfect score this year. It's a good mix, I'd think:
Er ... right no one has a genre for this, even pitchfork sort of gives up trying. It's an instrumental post-rock album that is heavily post rock and shoegaze influenced while also mostly being a jazz experiment still. Yeah.
Fun fact, you know Zorn is on there as well? I only just found that out ... also Nick Cave and Antony ...
Part of what made me fall in love with it so quickly. Zorn kills it with that tenor sax... and Cave fits surprisingly well with the tone of the album.
EDIT: additional fun fact: Zorn has either made or been featured on at least 8 stellar albums this year. Also he can read minds and has mastered the art of zen levitation
