2022 RAGGED STAFF PICKS
Wow, so 2022 is already coming to a close. Here are some new records that we popped opened and enjoyed. When people say that there is no new good music, don’t listen to them. The amount of new sounds coming out can be at times, overwhelming. That’s why we’re here, to sift through the rough to find you the diamonds. And boy there were some diamonds this year my friends! From the otherworldly tones of Lucrecia Dalt’s “!ay!” to the orchestrated beauty of “In These Times” by Makaya McCraven there was no shortage of creative and diverse sounds put out into the universe this year. We put together a playlist for your streaming needs down below. You can also click on the album covers below for a full description of the album. Thanks for making 2022 a great year for Ragged Records.
LISTEN: STAFF PICKS 2019
Here we are at the end of 2019, looking back on some of the albums that we cracked open and played endlessly in the shop. A lot of great albums came out this year including a posthumous record from Iowa’s own multi instrumentalist/singer- songwriter, producer Arthur Russell and the lump of coal turned into a diamond of an album, “No Other“ from The Byrd’s guitarist Gene Clark. Stream our playlist below!

List: Ragged Records Favorite Albums Of 2016
2016 has been quite the bummer of a year for all kinds of reasons. We've seen some of the most well respected and talented musicians of our time pass away this cold and dark year BUT we here at Ragged have observed an insurgence of incredible new music. So 2016 hasn't been all that bad, I guess. Anyway here is a list of new releases, soundtracks, compilations and reissues that we have enjoyed, in no particular order, this year. We hope that you enjoy these titles as much as we did and don't forget to check out the Spotify Playlist below.
