It’s from last year, but the album “Altutude” by Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives is still my go to upbeat, uplifting record. A lifetime legend of country music doing an unapologetically fun, slightly psychadelic nod to not just The Byrds, but British 60s pop, and Mowtown. It’s lively, funny, catchy, and even what could be more melancholy songs have a strong vibe of optimism - Space is a chill guitar lick about being overwhelmed by society, but finding peace in nature, A Friend Of Mine is all about solidarity from the the universality of shit going wrong, Sitting Alone is about feeling disconnected but it being a blissful experience that allows you to enjoy the simple things, and so on.
