25 tracce del 2025 (2/3): roots, country, blues, americana...and what's in between

Raccolta di tracce assemblata tra le cose apprezzate da me e dai miei principali riferimenti critici, a consuntivo del 2025. Mi sono imposto una limitazione a venticinque canzoni (più una extra che non provenga da materiale nuovo ma, ad esempio, da album live, outtakes, cover, ristampe). E no, non è stato facile, se il taglia e cuci s'è protratto fino all'ultimo.
