Comment:

One of the first mixes I traded for on AOTM, and still one of my favorites, is Mo Twang!'s Our Friend Crippled Hand. Crippled Hand harkens back to the age when rock rediscovered country -- the twang and the sensibility. It was a time when everybody was reading "Mother Earth News" along with their "Rolling Stone." It was a time when all the cosmic cowboys seemed to be hanging out in Austin, and the Armadillo World Headquarters was the perfect place to spend a warm Texas evening. I think my favorite thing about Crippled Hand is singing along in my car, falsetto unfurled, with Judy Collins...... "Someday soooon, going with him, someday sooooooon!!" Only by myself, of course. And with the windows rolled up. My singing voice has been known to make grown men weep and to drop birds from the sky in mid-flight. But I digress. This is Cosmic American music, circa the Nixon Administration, and a humble appreciation for my AOTM buddy, Mo Twang!, mixologist magnifico. And after all, who couldn't use a little mo' twang!?

Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Truly not a bad cut to be found anywhere on this mix. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Excellent.

Great liner notes to really capture the spirit. Loads of great stuff, but at the moment I'm especially fond of the Steve Miller pick since I've been spending a lot of time lately with his early records. Damn fine mix.

Speaking as a big fan of Our Friend Crippled Hand, this is a fantastic addition to Mo's. How about a box set?

Cool! Can't say I appreciated these acts in their prime, but with age a few have come to be real favorites of mine.

Exactly what James Jackson says. Truly brillant, Steve. I don't think I've ever seen even a below-par mix from you, my friend. superb from start to finish. "I stand in awe, and I shake my face" indeed, I do!

It has been said before... simply wonderful mix.
In fact, the only part I don't like is...
Ha! Just kidding! It's all great.

When rock met country & went native, it all came together for a shimmering moment - then it all got lost in the ozone again. You've built a powerful time machine here.
