The best music albums of 2022 for La Ruta Norteamericana

Like every year, the list of the best albums arrives.

On this sound route I never tire of repeating it every season: this is a classification that has nothing scientific and a lot personal.

In this way, this list does not seek to establish a chair or set any trend.

It responds, solely and exclusively, to my personal tastes, trying to order what I consider to be the albums that I have liked the most of this 2022.

It should be noted that I am usually very messy for this type of reviews and I always leave a disc along the way.

Records that I couldn't listen to despite the intention, or that I listened to, but, when making the selections, I end up including them.

But I don't think it's something tragic.

After all, the end of the year list is, honestly, a simple guideline and, above all, a mere entertainment that allows us to set an annual pattern.

It also allows us to discover things or relisten to albums that perhaps were listened to without much attention.

And, above all, it allows us to continue sharing music, which is, in my opinion, the most important thing.

Like other years, this list of La Ruta Norteamericana is made up of the 20 albums that took me away the most, without needing to be better or worse than others.

There have to be 20, the number of other courses, and, in this sense, several that could be included without problems have to be left out.

I am thinking now, for example, of records by The Smile, Leyla McCalla, Nikki Lane, Bill Callahan, Jack White, Suede, Arctic Monkeys, Taj Mahal & Ry Cooder, Wet Leg, Lamchop, Cass McCombs, Elvis Costello & The Imposters, Hurray For The Riff Raff, Panda Bear, Warpaint, The Sadies, Courtney Marie Andrews, Daniel Rossen, Mavis Staples & Levon Helm, The Mars Volta or Makaya McGraven.

That said, this list of the best of the year for The North American Route is not scientific at all.

It is simply a personal list, from the author of this column, with the sole objective of helping to discover records and artists or revisiting those chords that filled us in the last year, that accompanied us on our trips, our sleepless nights or our moments more alive
