A Dozen Favorite Country Albums of the Decade

A Dozen Favorite Country Albums of the Decade
December 23, 2009; Written by Craig Shelburne/cmt.com

I might as well take this rare opportunity to share a dozen of my favorite country albums from the 2000s. Out of the hundreds of country albums I listened to over the course of a decade, here are a dozen I'm keeping, ranked in alphabetical order by artist:

Alan Jackson, Like Red on a Rose (2006) -- At work, this record is always within reach because Alison Krauss' subdued production keeps me from losing my composure when things get stressful. I hope he'll make at least one more album like this in his career.
