There were many other great albums in 2018. Here are nine more albums (not in any particular order) that in any other year might have easily made the top 25 list, and so deserve mention: The Fire Within, by Jennifer Thomas; Songs Of A Changing Light, by Kathryn Kaye; Last Passing Of Summer, by David Lindsay; Tres, by Paz de Castillo; Moonlight In Empty Rooms, by Heidi Breyer; Oasis, by Lisa Hilton; Songs Of The Soul, by Anastasia; A Glimmer Of Hope, by Annie Locke; and Rising, by Vincent Avella. We also highly recommend each of these albums.
