Deaf Forever is our monthly metal column.

Since we’re nearing the end of the year and this is a countdown of the best stuff that came through my speakers during it, I’ll say what I've said all 2016: you can say a lot of things about this year, but the thing I think we can all agree on is that it’s been a really strong year for music, but especially folk. Below are the 20 Best Folk (or something resembling it) Albums of 2016 and while they are in some sort of order, outside of my #1 album you could talk me into any of the other 20 being #2 depending on the day. Here’s hoping 2017 provides us with as much good music as 2016.
