Last time I approached this theme, tried to put together an Alternative Country/Bluegrass mix. That didn't quite work out. I strayed. I admit it. End result is a great collection of songs, but a few tracks are neither Alternative Country or bluegrass.

This time around, was honest with myself (yep, surprised myself w/ that one too), and approached the mix w/ a broader theme in mind.

For the next 80 minutes, let's get outta the city, take that random freeway exit, and find ourselves so far off the beaten path, the roads are just as likely to be unpaved. This Rural Mix includes Alternative Country, Bluegrass, Americana, Folk, & any combination thereof.

Enjoy!

Oh! Almost forgot:
Meet @ Mr. Johnson's farm, west field, 10:30p.

Headphones Recommended: Amidst Hell & High Water

This one took some doing. A few weeks ago, I perused the 'ol recently played list & threw all the songs I liked onto the playlist I set aside for this compilation. Found my jaw slightly a gap when I saw the total time exceeded 4 hours. It took a couple of weeks to whittled it down to 80 minutes, a very excruciating & emotional task at times.

To top it off, I kept adding more songs...such is the price of having so much new music on hand. It seriously took 3 days to break below the 2 hour mark. There was a lot of eliminating songs, listening to the comp, re-adding songs, eliminating other songs, re-listening, repeat. Even today I switched out the Wye Oak song w/ the one I just listened to earlier.

All in all, turned out to be a really fun process, & I'm very happy w/ the results (especially considering I've listened to most of these songs at least 5 times over the last week).

It is my hope you start this only to realize you've lost 80 minutes after the last track fades.

1. Randi Russo | Invitation | Fragile Animal
2. Blind Pilot | One Red Thread | 3 Rounds And A Sound
