OMG I can't believe I forgot to mention "Challengers" as most beautiful of 2008! One of my top albums of the year.

Thoughts? The Buckingham record is _excellent_ -- one of my favorites so far this year. A perfect companion to his last one, as well as his tracks from Say You Will. Martha Wainwright is great harmony singer, but her lead vocals are grating and she can't really write a song. Teddy Thompson, on the other hand, has really come into his own with his new record.
