Really into this music this week. It’s actually quite a rarity to stumble on some stuff that really hits me (I’m a bit of a snob), but this has certainly been doing it! Check it out.

Found this after seeing that Devendra Banhart did a cover of Colorado Girl.  I listened to it one time through and all the songs are enjoyable to listen to.  Some didn’t seem to do much for me, while others  really stood out right away - particularly Son Volt’s “Rex’s Blues,” Foreign Born’s “Waiting Around To Die,” and Steve Earle’s “Ft. Worth Blues.” Also, they didn’t include a Norah Jones cover because it didn’t “cut it” which makes me trust them more.

 When you awake, the blog I found it on, seems really great, too. 

Here’s the songs:

1. Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle- If I Needed You
2. Gillian Welch- Pancho and Lefty
3. Devendra Banhart- Colorado Girl
4. Son Volt- Rex’s Blues
5. Azure Ray- For The Sake of the Song
6. Foreign Born- Waiting Around To Die
7. Peter Roman and Nanci Griffith- No Lonesome Tune
8. Nanci Griffith- Tecumseh Valley
9. Steve Earle- Fort Worth Blues
10. Vetiver- Standin’
11. Guy Clark- Don’t You Take It Too Bad
12. Steve Young- No Place To Fall

This is a playlist with songs that all include a place name in the title.  I took liberties with a few titles - but for the most part I stayed true.  Most of the songs are in the country blues style, with a bit of r & b.  A couple songs are from my computer and were not on spotify, so I’m not too sure if you will be able to hear those ones.
