Comment:

The Art Shanties (http://www.artshantyprojects.org) is a wintertime-thing that happens on Medicine Lake, just outside of Minneapolis. This mix was for the car ride out there, slash, a musical Ode to the Art Shanties. For Ben, Matt, and Elissa.

Mr. Blue Sky is a very good choice of a drive tune. The coupling for it looks good and so all I can say is it is probably reflective of the entire mix. There are many tracks on here that grab me by the titles.
