Comment:

Mix for a friend who had three crappy months and then fell in love with my middle-of-nowhere town. It's tailored both to her situation and to the drive from her city to mine. Unlike most of my mix-recipients, she's not a music snob, so I got to dust off a few of my favorite tracks by more mainstream artists. Track 17 is an amazing setting of the folksong for chamber singers; I'm not usually a fan of adapting traditionals, but Walker is unusually gifted.
