Should also mention the Arthur Russell compilation Love Is Overtaking Me. While I don't count it as a 2008 release because all the songs are previously released, it is a great collection for anyone who has yet to discover this amazing singer/songwriter.

Is Home good, I loved gilead?
Home is excellent. A book that could have been a total gimmick (Robinson retells the Gilead story from another perspective) turns out to be a brilliant fleshing out of an already amazing tale.
