I've selected an Uncut compilation More Sounds of the New West - The Best of Americana 2000 to feature as the 26th entry in this series.
Coincidentally I featured this CD at almost the same time last year. This is not a significant problem as it is a compilation which merits more than one post. It did mean that I had to alter my tracks selection somewhat.
That wasn't an issue as there were plenty more excellent tunes to choice from.. We start with The Flying Burrito Brothers surely one of the Godfathers of the genre. Here they are with their version of Dan Penn's classic Dark Side of the Street a song that featured on Ernie's occasional Single Song Sunday Series.
Calexico are a band who are no stranger to CCM and several other Blogs. Their song The Ballad of Cable Hogue from their album Hot Rail is a big favourite here.
We conclude with Giant Sand and their song Raw.
Rest assured that should this CD ever feature again there are still plenty more great songs to choose from.
The Flying Burrito Brothers - Dark End of the Street
I am suitably reassured
