This is really well done! Love the Townes, Cave, Pogues and Burrito's picks and I think its the first time I've seen Ollabelle on a mix.

There is not a weak link in this entire "roots" collection. I absolutely LOVE your opener and closer! If you wanna trade...

Oh man, how much do I love this. I'm scarcely in the trading biz anymore, but I surely would like to hear this!

Very, very cool and a great allusion to HMHB, as well. :-)

Very nice indeed, and completely up my street! While I know all the songs, there are a lot of versions on here I haven't heard, so this is educational too. Well done!

Not just roots but branches, flowers -- and Bad Seeds!
If I could entice you into a trade for this it would make a splendid addition to the De Vivre Collection . . . any chance?

This looks quite excellent! I'm glad you didn't riff on "We built this city...". hope you are doing well.
