More Gillian!!

     Tonight, I'm posting the second volume of my Gillian Welch compilation.  First, I'd like to thank the site spontaneous wednesday for their comprehensive collection of Gillian Welch live shows. Indeed, there are so many good live Gillian tracks that I probably could have made a 3 volume collection.  But for now, you'll just have to make do with two discs of Gillian's genius.  (I was actually going to call the compilation The Genius of Gillian or Gillian's Genius, but it seemed, I dunno, a tad obvious.)

The Only One and Only Gillian Welch

      Well, it's that time of year when I tend to feature a a female alt-country star (Neko Case), Kelly Willis, Lucinda Williams, Iris DeMent), so this year I thought it was high time for a Gillian Welch compilation.  There's one cut from each of her formal releases and the rest is contributions to tribute albums and soundtracks, duets, and a lot of live tracks.  Disc Two  arrives next week.

I Just Don't Know What to do With Myself - Volume 4

     Yes, it's time again for my annual anti-Valentine's day compilation.  However, this year, I decided to make the compiling a little harder by restricting it only to duets.  Actually, it was a lot harder than I thought which is why I had to include some artists I'd already featured in the series and why there's more country music than usual (there just don't seem to be that many truly sad soul duets).   Btw, I've also re-upped Vol 1, Vol 2, and Vol 3 in case folks are really in need of more sad stuff.

Return of the 90s Indie Goddesses

    Since Mazzy Star just put out a couple of singles (one of them leads off the compilation), I decided that I needed to do another 90s Indie Goddess mix, albeit one with more emphasis on the mellow stuff (and with some of the bands folks recommended in the comments section when I posted Volumes 1&2 - which I'm re-upping as I type.)  And once again, feel free to indulge in as much cultural nostalgia for the 90s as you wish. :)
