Comment:

Made this mix for friends Sarah and Dion, who got married in Ohio this summer. I had to miss the wedding, and have been looking around for a mix to make them ever since. When I heard the Gillian Welch song the other night, the idea clicked into place. Aside from the intentional omission of the Neil Young song, I'd love to hear if anyone's favorite Ohio song is missing -- haven't sent the mix off yet.

Link from the first song.

I tried to do a mix like this at one point but couldn't come up with enough songs, so I am impressed :) You've got my favorite (Damien Jurado), although my favorite version of Banks of the Ohio is by The Carter Family. I would also leave off the Neil Young Ohio song, like you have. You might also consider Road Outside Columbus by OAR (they are a Columbus band), and Ohio by Modest Mouse. If I were making an Ohio mix, I would also see if I could fit in some Ohio State football songs like Hang On Sloopy and Carmen Ohio, but I could see how they would break up the flow. Anyway, what you have looks good to me -- hope your friend enjoys it :)
