Back in the late 90s when I was doing my alt-country radio show, I acquired a tape of someone else's radio show (I kinda forget exactly how). Anyway, it became a mainstay in the box of cassettes I kept in my car. Due to the 60s-70s country vibe of many of the songs, I especially found myself listening to it anytime I found myself driving around on back roads on fall afternoons. So since the cassette got kinda worn out, I thought I'd take some of my faves from the tape and add some like-minded songs.

That is a fantastic compilation. I suspect it'll get loads of spin time on the iPod. Thank you.
@hhdude - Hope you enjoy it! And I'm looking forward to listening the 76-77 soul comp (great idea) you posted on your site.
Nice one here, of course anything with Gene Clark (and the title cut no less) gets high marks from me. Thanks!
By the way the Syd Straw comp is still in strong rotation. Her stuff is timeless.
@Vaughn,
You're right - hard to go wrong with Gene Clark. I'm still hoping that one of these days Kelly Willis will do an album of Gene Clark songs.
