Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2017 | #48: Tift Merritt’s ‘Stitch of the World’

December 1, 2017 Albumism Staff

#48
Tift Merritt | Stitch of the World
Yep Roc | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes

According to Justin Chadwick: “As wonderful as Merritt’s inaugural album Bramble Rose (2002) was upon first listen and still is to this day, Merritt’s career and discography have proven that her acclaimed debut was only the tip of the iceberg for this consummate, never-complacent artist. Indeed, while other artists’ creative peaks often arrive early in their careers only to prove ephemeral, Merritt has seemingly, and rather incredulously, been hitting her stride for a decade and a half now. Without question, Stitch of the World stands as a vital new component of her ever-evolving repertoire, while further cementing its creator’s deserved reputation as one of her generation’s most unassumingly gifted and graceful songwriters.”
