Best Music 2004 - Elena Crane

I have a very short list:

2 new releases this year:
Loretta Lynn, Van Lear Rose
Bonnie Prince Billy Sings Greatest Palace Music

And 3 old ones I bought this year:
Dolly Parton, Just Because I'm a Woman
Nick Cave, The Boatman's Call
Pater Gabriel, So (I had a very old tape of this and finally got the CD, so it's not "new" to me, but oh so wonderful)
