American Songwriters Best Albums

American Songwriters also offered up a pretty solid list of its favorite albums, topped off by Jason Isbell's Southeastern. The lack of Okkervil River is an egregious omission, however. Though the National (#6), Vampire Weekend (#12), Avett Brothers (15), Dawes (16), Laura Marling (20), Johnny Flynn (24), Haim (25), Josh Ritter (28), Deer Tick (40), and the Head & the Heart (44) almost make up for it. But seriously, no Okkervil River from American Songwriter?
