Folks, if you don't embed a way to play the track, likely people won't be able to experience the music and vote for you. Do a quick search in youtube and post the link.
I really liked this. Great rhythmic drive, top-class musicians and first-class recording. This would also be good for testing hi-fi equipment. In addition, I would then test the lowest basses with pipe organ music.Jeff Parker IVtet
Jerry Douglas has been a busy man.This is a very well recorded album-Jerry Douglas is a very well known musician here in Nashville and quite the virtuoso on dobro. Saw him open for Tedeschi Trucks at The Ryman and was blown away at his talent. Another track worthy of a listen is the 3rd track "What Might Have Been".

Agree esp on the Gilmour/Romany video recording-not great quality. Probably should have put the link to the studio version-may get more "likes".This might not be the place for a discussion, and I can move or delete if this is out of place. I don't want to spoil the fun, that's for sure.

1) Including classical music is fraught with issues. The most important being that the call is for 'best track', but most classical pieces are inherently multi-movement and thus, multi-track. So you're often left with what classical music buffs derisively call 'bleeding chunks' from an extended performance.
2) The lead track by David/ Romany Gilmour is a video performance. To my experience, video performances on YouTube, whether live or in a studio, are an entirely different animal than studio produced audio tracks.
3) Finally, mixing genres. How do you compare across genre's?
I would suggest next time around, more limitations at the front end.
One thing that mitigates against all these issues, is that it's a reader poll, not an adjudication by a panel, so it's much more about the process than the result.
My favourite so far, gave me shivers listening to it as well as watching the dismal landscape in the video. Thanks Tassin for the introduction to this artist.Such a distinct voice, excellent singer and very nice composition with an attractive build-up. Sivert Høyem - The Rust.
Is there a single music track that really captured your heart in 2024? For me, this was it: the cover song by David Gilmour's daughter, Romany Gilmour: Between Two Points. I especially like this tour rehearsal video. The bass is distorted but the vocals are well recorded, highlighting the calm and beautiful voice of Romany:
The guitar segment at the end by David is a superb bonus, clearly demonstrating his mastery of the instrument.
Post your favorite song (NOT album). Members will vote with Like button. Whoever gets the highest number of likes, myself excluded, will get a gift from me come January 2nd. I will tally the results on the new year.
EDIT: Please only nominate one track.
