Best Folk Album in Nashville 2026: Jobi Riccio, Face the Feeling

From top to bottom, Jobi Riccio’s Face the Feeling is packed full of the big lessons and self-discoveries the songsmith has made throughout her complicated 20s. Riccio’s storytelling is gentle and assured but unsparing as she shares the turbulence of falling in and out of love, the feeling of disconnection that comes with starting over in a new city and more. There’s something like a sigh of relief as each story resolves.
