I have struggled with this post. It's been really hard for me to pick out the top CDs of the year. I've gone back and forth and reordered several times. I've ended up with a top 12, because I've been so indecisive.
And a small disclaimer - this list is only from projects I have reviewed this year. Unfortunately, there are a few releases that I won't have reviews on until next month.
So with all that being said, it was the year for great mixed group releases. They dominate this list, taking the top several spots.
12 - Walk of Faith - The Whisnants
Favorite songs - "Worry Ends Where Faith Begins" and "Go Out Singing"
11 - Happy People - Ernie Haase and Signature Sound
Favorite songs - "Happy People" and "Jesus Changes Everything"

So what do you think? What are your top albums for 2015?
I love Happy People, Ready to Sail, and A New Chapter the best out of this list, but my absolute favorite was That Day Is Coming by the Collingsworth Family. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThat's on my list to still review! Hate I didn't get to it this year. Look for my review coming in January!
DeleteOh, "That Day Is Coming" will be a treat! Love that album... I've listened to it just about everyday since I've had it!
