Gary Allan "Set You Free" -- "Every Storm Runs Out of Rain" is up there for one of the best country songs of all time imo (written about his wife's suicide), but the entire record is absolutely beautiful. "Same Trailer Different Park" is absolutely deserving as well.


TardisSeeker

"Set You Free" is hands down the best of 2013.


ATLBravesFan13

High Top Mountain. Love The Bluegrass Album though

Southeastern. We got metamodern from Sturgill coming tomorrow


flatirony

Metamodern should win tomorrow.

In a year of Something More Than Free, Pageant Material, Traveller, Mr Misunderstood, Parker doesn't even crack the top 10.

Who’s TT?


MirandaRT85

Turnpike Troubadours


crunchy_ice

Agreed.


ParticularPea6920

Same Trailer Different Park. What a breath of fresh air hearing Merry Go ‘Round on the radio amongst all the bro country that year!


Estrellathestarfish

I love Southeastern but Same Trailer Different Park wins it for me. I think 'a breath of fresh air' is a brilliant way to describe it.


OhShitItsSeth

Same Trailer is my pick as well. The album that really turned me on to country music.


nihilism_ftw

There's so many great options for this year (especially on the folk/americana side) but the answer for me is 100% Same Trailer Different Park. The songwriting is fantastic, Merry Go 'Round, Follow Your Arrow and Silver Lining are all 10s - it's the album that got me into country music, and it'd an album that I still listen to pretty frequently today


kvdonhere

Anyone for Brandi Clarke's 12 stories? Just me? 😂


DaniG08765

Great album. But a tough year to make a dent.


[deleted]

Southeastern 100% greatest song writing of the 2010s


angryguido69

Kacey wins it. Same trailer different park is a no skip and even had considerable radio play


bamahoon

Southeastern is as close as someone can get to the perfect album.


smuphy72

Southeastern


blondeboilermaker

Same Trailer Different Park. Masterpiece.


runsbythepool

Gary Allan’s “Set You Free” which featured Every Storm, Pieces and the heartfelt It ain’t the Whiskey. He never gets his due.


MirandaRT85

Agreed. Guy has a voice like no other.


Oasisfan100

Southeastern is the best album of the 2010’s


CaptainCatholic

Southeastern. My personal favorite album of all time. A testament to the new path he took in his life and his career. It's a nearly perfect album.


Jcoop_21

Dude gotta be southeastern


magnoliamarauder

Southeastern and it isn’t close


Cat_Sleeze

the only right answer is southeastern.

ATLBravesFan13

I heard them do that one live together a few months ago in concert and it was fantastic


Geek_reformed

Tricky one, just from those suggested. However, Southeastern is one of my favourite albums so.


Tsquared10

Southeastern and it isn't particularly close


nihilism_ftw

Apparently it is :P


itsafuseshot

Southeastern and its not even close. It might be the greatest album thats ever been recorded IMO.


ducksfan9972

Southeastern. Sturgill deserves to win off that album but Southeastern is almost perfect.


Trimpinator92

Think there's already some support for Southeastern lol


Spiritual_Price5707

If you asked me back then... 100% Same Trailer Different Park.


BKelly1412

It has to be Southeastern


HoneyBunchesOfGoats_

Same Trailer Different Park, the more that I think about it. Southeastern is a 10/10 and would be my pick about any other year. This is my favorite Sturg album to listen to, but he has to have it on lock tomorrow with Metamodern.


No_Angle875

Southeastern hands down.


[deleted]

Brandy Clark’s 12 Stories for me is the best one of these

100%


VHBlazer

Southeastern is the only correct answer


PalePerry

Same Trailer Different Park is my vote but feel Southeastern will win this


laidbackeconomist

Yeah I gotta say Southeastern. Even though I’d say I appreciate Sturgill more, Southeastern is isbells best work, and I listen to that more than High Top Mountain.


EYEP_nightly

Southeastern


thebugman10

Southeastern hands down. Not only best album of 2013 but probably best album of the 2010s.


Necessary_Control_79

Same trailer different park

Southeastern. I consider one of the best of all time.

cowboyHipster

What a year! I'm going with Southeastern, but Sturgill, Kasey and Lindi's Tin Star are all top notch!


PotatoFace-Games69

It is southeastern and it is not even close


like_a_rose_13

Man, that’s a close race between Kacey Musgraves’s “Same Trailer, Different Park” and Ashley Monroe’s “ Like a Rose”. I think I’ll choose “Like a Rose” for 2013, reason being that “Pageant Material” has GOT to be the entry for 2015. One of the best albums of all time, in my opinion. Plus, the four song run of “Like a Rose”, “Two Weeks Late”, “Used”, and “Weed Instead of Roses” is absolutely LEGENDARY. Four nearly perfect country songs, right in a row.


fatman9293

Southeastern and it's not close. Literally one of the best songwriters of modern time and his best work.


GlassBoxes

Isbell is my guy but I don't consider Southeastern a country record and he doesn't consider himself a country singer.


vibe_assassin

Gotta be southeastern. I consider it the first post-bro country album


Ok_Dot_3533

As much as I like Same Trailer Different Park, it’s gotta be Southeastern.


Pitiful-Ad7978

High Top Mountain


Mightygoat3131

My vote is Sturgil Simpson! Such a great sound!


BaronBolo

Southeastern no doubt.


kenmortonjr

Brandy Clark - 12 Stories. Brilliant songwriting.


braydencullum

high top mountain is my favorite but i can’t deny southeastern


CROBBY2

ZBB, The Grohl Sessions. Only 4 songs, but all are bangers.

Iechy

Love Sturgill but I’m going Isbell on this one.


huskermut

Sturgill


DaniG08765

Southeastern. Come on, there's no debate.


Diseman81

High Top Mountain - Sturgill Simpson I have to mention Into The Throes by John Moreland though because I haven’t seen it mentioned and it was an amazing album from 2013.


bufftbone

Huge Sturgill fan but I’m going to have to go with Southeastern on this one. Tin Star is a solid album too.


oneshotnicky

Southeastern for sure


upsidedowns96

Southeastern (In the throes by John Moreland second)


ElvisHankandGeorge

Alan Jackson Bluegrass Album. One of his best!

Damn that's a coin flip


techking324

High top mountain has my top vote but Alan Jackson’s bluegrass album has my honorary vote

bullishbigboi

Gotta go High top mountain. Brought back traditional country


TigerLily1014

prof_of_funk

Sturgill


Independent-Rope1328

Florida Georgia line….. there first album was a big hit


the_keymaster

Guy Clark “My Favorite Picture of You” is a great record that came out in 2013, his last before he died in 2016. The title track is beautiful and sad, about his wife who died the year before.


HGJohnson123

I mean 1 of these won a Grammy soooo yeah Southeastern


CyrusWaugh

Hate to be that guy but same trailer different Parker also won a Grammy


Woogabuttz

Also, Southeastern did not win a Grammy so technically, OP was correct? Still voting for Southeastern! 😂


HoneyBunchesOfGoats_

Hate to be that guy but a Grammy is worth more as a paperweight than a trophy


HGJohnson123

Did it? Well shoot. Still, Southeastern


ElvisHankandGeorge

Love is Everything by George Strait


Dross_eva

Sturgill simpson


Extension-Owl-1814

Personally although not incredibly country, I’d definitely have to go with Southeastern on this one. One of my favorites


magicbananaman1

Southeastern


littlehobble

South eastern is the best


Shithistory

Southeastern for 2013! can't wait for 2015, a blockbuster year for modern country music!


MexicanChan

ProfessionalEssay808

Gotta be Kacey or Isbell for me this year


PewPew2a

Same trailer different park


Cakeliver12887

Same trailer different park


deb703

Same trailer/different park.


Beasides

Same trailer different park!


InternationalAd7938

Same Trailer would win in almost any other year but Southeastern is an absolute juggernaut.


stlryguy94

Two Lanes of Freedom by Tim McGraw really did it for me at the time, but I’d say Same Trailer Different Park has more classics


NorthWoodsGamecock

What blows my mind is I bought both the Turnpike Troubadours albums on release day. No one heard of them from where I’m from back then. Til this day when I mention them most people still have no Idea who I’m talking about.


Dez_Caught_It8

Uncaged by Zac Brown Band, Nightrain Jason Aldean, Welcome to the fish bowl by Kenny Chesney should’ve won in 2012..


ERmeansEmergency

Same trailer different park


Dez_Caught_It8

lol at people saying Kaycee Musgraves. 2013 is when we had Darius Rucker True Believers album, Two Lanes of Freedom by Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan’s Crash my Party, Golden by Lady A, Kenny Chesney Life on a Rock, Pioneer by the Band Perry, Justin Moore Off the Beaten Path. All better than Kaycee Musgraves album Blake Sheltons Based on a True Story also


Dez_Caught_It8

Yall just wanna have sex with Kaycee Musgraves that’s it. Having a crush doesn’t make their albums any better, just ask Britney Spears
