I like this list from No Depression. Great to see Adia Victoria, amongst others, included. https://www.nodepression.com/no-depression-reviewers-and-writers-favorite-roots-music-albums-of-2021/

Mojo’s main list, only includes a couple of albums that have made their way onto my 90 favourite albums of 2021. However, the americana list is generally more reflective, at least in part, with my year-end releases. https://www.albumoftheyear.org/genre/70-americana/2021/mojo/

Uncut’s list is an interesting one. It certainly includes far fewer of my own choices although The Weather Station, Cassandra Jenkins and Hiss Golden Messenger do make an appearance which I’m pleased to see. https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/lists/uncuts-best-new-albums-of-2021-136102/

As well as my own choices of favourite albums and EP’s of the year there have, of course, been many other year-end lists. The Folk Radio UK 100 albums listing resonates well with me, featuring as it does a number of the albums that populate my favourites.
