Almost all of these have tracks that get me into a crying mood. All are more meaningful to me than I’d like to admit.
I’ll let you guess at the gory details there. Enjoy the tunes, friends.

Love is Overtaking Me, Arthur Russell
-an archival release, contains a lot of great folky tracks, still has elements of his electronic work
Viva Last Blues, Palace Music (Will Oldham)
-great intro to Will Oldham, a great off kilter folk artist
Red Apple Falls, Smog (Bill Callahan)
-Really solid album, very subtle and sparse but rewarding on relisten
Joanna Newsom and the Ys Street Band EP, Joanna Newsom
-Beautiful EP with great folk accompaniment, even if you aren’t familiar with her music, i think this is a great starting point, the second track is very emotional for me

Had a shitty childhood? Want to feed your inner child with joy? Have a kid. Tell him you love him every day. Buy him Lego Star Wars sets and build them together.
Highly recommended.

Not my fave of all-time, but certainly from last year. A puzzle game navigating worlds inside worlds.
