The Van Cracker's Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey #40 on No Depression Community's Top 50 Albums of 2009! If you haven't bought your own copy yet, do it today! (Thanks Jan.)

The Americana/roots/indie/alt/whatever music world has had a pretty great year full of new releases. With a saturated music market delivering innumerable new releases all the time, it's no picnic trying to decide what stands out as the finest recording(s) of the year. ...

Only #40? That's crazy. I've got it at #1 or 2, with only Peter Hammill's Thin Air (not a No Depression album by ANY definition :)) the only real competition. At least Slaid Cleaves got some love (and their #11 is my #4). The Son Volt album was VERY disappointing.

But I digress. If y'r on this list and somehow don't own Sunrise yet, what're you waiting for???
