Songs of 2018, 9th Runner Up


After his second album, which was almost certainly too much of a not-always-good thing, I'd begun to grow tired of Father John Misty.  But he won me back with "God's Favorite Customer," his 2018 album that was shorter, funnier, and better than the album which preceded it.

"Mr. Tillman" first caught my ear with the line about Jason Isbell, and overall the best way to describe it is as a classic Father John Misty song.  Make what you will of the video, but one can't accuse him of not having a sense of humor.
