Part 2: From Handsome Furs to Oneida
Slipped Discs continues with hip-hop royalty, a genre-busting classical quartet, the future of soul music, an Americana demigod and many more. All records that missed our top 60 list last year.

The Best Americana of 2009
This year saw a flood of plaid-shirted indie-roots bands building on the beardy throwbacks who gained country-rock traction in 2008. And while mainstream country music continued its evolution into '80s pop metal, plenty of roots acts turned the other direction with back-to-basics records.

Levon Helm: Ramble at the Ryman
This live album provides everything you'd expect, unless you were looking for a surprise.

Levon Helm: Electric Dirt
Overall, as delightful as Helm’s 2007 comeback was, Electric Dirt feels like even more cause for celebration.

Levon Helm: Dirt Farmer
Helm makes a strong personal statement on this solo album, but he remembers how to work within a band.
