An interesting ... and eclectic list. I know that Phil is far too busy , but wouldn't it be nice if HufPo featured under-recongnized artist/albums (both new and old) from time to time?
Just a thought.
And my additions: Anything by Sea Level ( Chuck Level)
What is all of this, a commercial for iTunes? Where's Duke and Coltrane with In a Sentimental Mood? Where's Gene Ammons with I Remember You? Where's Frank with Put Your Dreams Away? How about Prez with These Foolish Things Remind Me of You? Or Basie's Blue and Sentimental? Or Wynonie's Bloodshot Eyes? ....et alia...???
Night Time by either The Strangeloves or J Geils Band. Dosent matter which one.
Midnight Ravers by The Wailers
Night Doctor by The Upsetters
10 to 12 also The Upsetters
Midnight at The Oasis just kidding
Thank you, Great list.
The correct Steely Dan song for this new year isn't "Reelin in the Years" ...it's "Change of the Guard", also off the 'Can't Buy a Thrill' album:

Good on ya for Hank William, George Jones, the Kinks. Given the New Years eve link, I would have added "Midnight in Montgomery" or one of the better versions of David Allen Coe's "The Ride."
I never ever thought that The Black Keys would get the recognition they richly deserve! Good to see their name here. Happy New Year to y'all :-)
