Comment:

For some friends who are into folk music...but not necessarily aware of much of this stuff. And for me: because I'm not that aware of it either, and making this is an impetus for me to explore further. Part one of two: part two is here. Note also the similarity of cover art to this mix - made for the same folks...

"Must have seen Bright Eyes"? I'm not sure why you say that - but yes, I have seen Bright Eyes (sadly, it was one of the worst shows I've ever seen). But I am curious what you mean - elaborate please?

I like the look of these though my knowledge of the folk scene is spotty -- but maybe then these would be a good ear-openers for me. Is there anyhting of mine I could trade you for them?

Both are tremendous. Enjoyed your nods to some lesser known but fantastic artists.
