NPR Music follows the announcement earlier this week of its 50 Favorite Albums of 2014, which includes Robert Plant's new album, lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar, with today's publication of its Favorite Songs of 2014. Featured among them are songs from four Nonesuch Records artists' releases: Plant's "Little Maggie," from lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar; The Black Keys' "Weight of Love," from their new album, Turn Blue; Conor Oberst's "Hundreds of Ways," from his Nonesuch debut album, Upside Down Mountain; and James Farm's "Two Steps," from their sophomore album, City Folk.

The Black Keys' "Weight of Love," which opens the new album, Turn Blue, is "an epic jam that includes the longest (and best) guitar solo ever from Dan Auerbach," raves NPR's Robin Hilton.

Robert Plant's "Little Maggie," says NPR's Anastasia Tsioulcas, is "a brilliant update of an old bluegrass tune, layered with Juldeh Camara's earthy kologo lute." Hear it here:

Conor Oberst made his Nonesuch Records debut with the release of his album Upside Down Mountain in May. "Amid buoyant horns and crisp West African guitar lines," Mike Katzif of WNYC's Soundcheck writes of the track "Hundreds of Ways," "Oberst mulls over celebrity, aging and violence that threatens to dismantle society, yet remains hopeful." You can hear the track here:

City Folk, the new album from James Farm—the collaborative band of saxophonist Joshua Redman, pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Matt Penman, and drummer Eric Harland—opens with "Two Steps." "A bouncy beat can make you want to listen to anything," says NPR's Patrick Jarenwattananon. "In this case, you're rewarded by Aaron Parks and Joshua Redman solos." You can hear them here:

Also on the list of NPR's Favorite Songs of 2014 is Lake Street Dive's "You Go Down Smooth." The track appeared on the band's own album Bad Self Portraits, and a live version of the tune is featured on the forthcoming Nonesuch release Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of "Inside Llewyn Davis," which captures the one-night-only concert held at New York City’s Town Hall in 2013 to celebrate the music of the Coen brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis. "Admit it," says World Cafe host David Dye; "this doesn't sound like anything else." Another Day, Another Time is due January 13 and can be pre-ordered here.
