The Best season to listen to music is here, fall is upon us.
I don’t know what it is about fall but there’s something that just makes the music mean more. The cool crisp air, the leaves changing color, my twin’s sweatshirt, a glass of cider and my favorite fall albums.
In the spirit of one of my favorite movies “High Fidelity” I thought it would be fun to do a Top 5 list. So here it is.
Top 5 Albums to listen to in the fall.
5. Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan
Although this is not my favorite Dylan album something about it just clicks with autumn. It’s starts with a couple of Dylan classics “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Girl From the North County”. I suggest you grab your guy/gal and put this album on, reenact the album cover and grab some coffee.
4. Sea Wolf - Leaves in the River
Wow, Even the name sounds like fall. When I listen to “Leaves in the River” I fell like I should have on a sweater made of yak hair and wonder somewhere in Eastern Europe. Come on and wonder with me.
3. Wilco - Being There
I challenge anyone to find a better fall band than Wilco. I picked “Being There” for a couple of reasons, first it’s my favorite Wilco album and second it’s a two disc album. More bang for the buck. Put “Being There” on and trace your hand and then make a turkey out of it.
2. Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy
When I think about it there really isn’t a bad season to listen to this album. The energy and passion in this album is amazing. The power of Okkervil River could allow you to go outside in November without a jacket for at least 7 minutes. “Black Sheep Boy” might even make my top 10 albums of all time.
1. Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
This is it, the big number 1. “Heartbreaker” is so fall I bet you that Ryan wrote this in the middle of an apple orchard sitting in a pile of leaves, while it lightly drizzled on his Halloween costume. ‘Heartbreaker” will make you shake your hips, hug your girl and wipe some tears. Buy it and love it!
