I've gotten lots of compliments on this mix, which makes me think the other albums must suck. But I have to admit the blend of country and roots with some modern twists is entertainin' on most any day of the week.

It slides a little bit after a strong beginning, but I've always got an open ear to alt-country gems that would prove better replacements or on a Volume 2.
