The Best Music of 2011: The American Singers

My favorite male singer of the year was Bill Callahan, who is sneaking up into a canonical spot, if keepers of the canon are alive and listening. “Apocalypse” isn’t available on Spotify, so you will have to go and buy it, an act I endorse. (This animated version of a song from “Apocalypse” called “Riding for the Feeling” will make you want to sit very still, or ski jump, or both.)
