Comment:

I was recently down in the Dirty South, and I fell completely in love. I am moving to New Orleans sometime in 2009, meanwhile, I made this mix to listen to when I'm lonely for Dixie. Title from the Lilium track.

This one I know (and love) better, I can't even start naming favorites because practically the whole disk is pristine.
