It’s Time to Vote in No Depression’s 2021 Year-End Readers Poll

It was another white-knuckle year, but at least there was plenty of good music to keep us holding on. As the year winds down, we’d like to invite you to think back to all the roots music albums that delighted you along the way and share your faves with us and fellow No Depression readers. That’s right: It’s time for the annual Year-End Readers Poll!

Tell us your favorite 10 roots music albums from the list in the ballot linked below, and we’ll crunch the numbers to come up with No Depression‘s Best Roots Music Albums of 2021 list. There are more than 700 albums to choose from, plus, new this year, an “Other” option at the end of the ballot where you can type in one that’s not on the list. Just remember to make it roots music! A well-rounded listener likely has favorites outside of that world, and we’re all for that. But we’re a roots music magazine, and this is a roots-music specific list.

Voting is open at the link below until 11:59 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 17, 2021. We’ll report the results at nodepression.com soon thereafter. Want to make sure you don’t miss it? There’s a spot on the ballot to share your email address (optional) and get our twice-weekly newsletter, which will include the poll results in late December. You can unsubscribe anytime.
