Comment:

Recently, I'd found myself itching to make somewhat of an 'Alt-Country' compilation using some of my favorite cd's from that genre. [you might've noticed that I left out Rhett Miller's solo cd, because I favor the Old 97's more so.] I like what came of this effort, and I hope you all at AOTM do too. Whoever would like this tape is welcome to a copy. [I only have made one so far, but there could be more on the way, and/or a CD-R version during Thanksgiving.] It seems I am entirely unable to quench my thirst for this highly underrated [at least, I believe it to be!] type of music. Enjoy!

[And thank you to Adam B., Emily S., Charles B., Katy L., Emilio N., and Vanessa B. for their generous supplementation and inspiration for this mix! I don't know where I'd be without you all. *hugs to you all* Cheers and much love to you and yours.] this mix was inspired to be made when I found out that Damien Jurado is playing in San Francisco in December. which of course, I am going to go to! yipeeee. wish I had someone to go with. :(

Well, you're welcome Abigail! I'm glad to give you any supplementaion or inspiration for such a fine mix. I think I'll use this as inspiration and make my own alt-country mix. Wanna trade when I'm done?

You've always been great to me, Abigail, so I hate to say this, but I kinda gotta. This seems rather repetitive. I guess we stick with what we know best, of course, but... Yeah, I couldn't sleep with myself tonight (?) if I didn't say that. Wilco is still cool. Out.

This is definitely one of my favorite musical styles. Lots of great stuff in there. I love that final Whiskeytown song.
