Thanks. I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad you got the #13! I already have my next installment almost done. It's funny you mentioned Power Pop... I'll revisit the "Cowpunk" later.
Buddy has informed me he is dropping out, doesn't have the time he thought he might to dedicate to it. So I'm going to see if I can pull something together for September/Early October since I'm fast approaching my November slot. Scott is due up in October. Haven't touched base with him. I'm sure he is hard at work cooking up something good for us.
I can step up if needed, I don't even think I am on list anymore so I am certainly under no deadlines.

Finally got thru your mix a second time. A debut to the club on a par with Can't Buy a Thrill. Great job on the jacket/coverart/song list. Something I'll never measure up to with my tech challenged skills. Anyway, here are my highlights.
I liked the bookends of Mule Skinner Blues and That Year, really tied the room together The Vandels were clever in the Clint Eastwood vibe. Solid Devo influence. I've always enjoyed Dave Edmunds, this track especially. The Beat Farmers (super clever name!) had a nice power pop sound going for them Colin Herring? hmmm he had an early Isbell sound. I'll have to look more of his stuff up Coming Home is my favorite on the mix, never heard it or of Lucerno. See Heering comment above for future earing. Solid Wilco track, then again they are consistently solid Any mix with DBT on it is an instant hit with me Track 13 (yes I had one!) had a Tom Petty sound to my ear "So in love with your own pain" - choice lyric by Mr Wynn Yesterday's News was a good rocker Hey I recognized Velvet Crush, I forget from where but I did know it. How is Pete Droge not a superstar with this song? So catchy. I have the CD and owe it a re-listen.
Now I'm looking forward to your follow up mix. Very well done, Welcome to the CLUB!

1. I had to throw this oldie in. Very early Cow Punk.
2. About as punk as country can get.
3. Same as 2.
4. "Queen of Hearts" was first recorded by Dave off his album Repeat When Necessary. It was written by Hank DeVito... a pedal steel member of Emmylou Harris's band. Repeat When Necessary is a really good album. He also did a really awesome version of "Creature from the Black Lagoon" written by Billy Bremner from Brinsley Schartz on it.
5. Love the Beat Farmers. I discovered them in my 91X (San Diego) years... straining to get FM stations from far away from this musically and geographical desert. It's funny you mentioned Springsteen... they did a cover of "Reason to Believe" on this same album. Which by the way... made the very hard to get onto R.P. playlist though my upload years back!
6. That's great! Rank and File are one of my favorites.
7. These guys performed with Whiskeytown back in the day.
8. Colin Herring has some good stuff going on. I debated between a couple more of his songs for this pile.
11. Wilco / Jeff Tweedy, is a talented guy/ guys.
12. Had to throw the Truckers in this mix. I tried to find the âmeanestâ one from them.
13. A flaw? LoL! Does everyoneâs copy have this problem? I put this one for me and Scott. Love the Long Ryderâs. If this is a missing song... Iâll just have to do Volume 2 later.
14. I had a few to choose from Drivin' and Cryin'. If I do a Volume 2... one of those might make it in.
17. For Squirrels only had one major release called Example from â95. They did a song âMighty KCâ about Kurt Cobain that was a âminor hitâ. Itâs a really good album. Unfortunately, two members of the band along with their tour manager were killed in a car accident before they broke out.
18. I really like Whiskeytown. Ryan... what the matter with you?
19. From their album âTeenage Symphonies to Godâ. Another good album.
20. Pete Droge got me banned from a request on KHUM because of the title. I guess I was reaching a little too far out man.
21. A listener here at R.P. (DownHomeGirl) turned me on to these guys. Thank you for that!

Nice inaugural effort! I like this cow punk!
Highlights for me:
1. I love me some good ol yodeling and this is strange enough to endear itself to me even more! Rockin, I think my dog will like this very much.
2. Well if there is anything such as cowboy punk, this song personifies it. Shoulda known this was the Vandals, they're hilarious.
4. I had no idea Edmonds did this one, is he the original songwriter?
5. Why is this the Beat Farmers?? This sounds more like old Bruce Springsteen, Happy Boy?? Really??
6. I am actually putting a different version of this song on a mix I am making for my dad's model railroad setup.
8. Sounds like a hybrid between the truckers, matthew sweet and whiskeytown which is all good no matter how you slice it. Favorite song of mix so far.....
11. The older I get the more and more I appreciate Wilco. Is that a sign of wisdom?
12. Love the truckers, Cooley was always my favorite lead vocalist for this band, Hood is the more powerful and proficient songwriter of course
accessing folders via the interface/dash screen isn't optimal
i'll rearrange and isolate to minimize room for error
probably need to dig into apple's carplay
20 dollar boom box made by Lon Poo™. I think it is a company based in Springfield......Korea or something. Takes 4 c batteries, I use it as my redneck stereo in my travelin' truck. It is the same method of music playback the indigenous peoples of North America used pre European invasion.

This was a real welcome dose of ass-kickin' foot stompin' rowdy rock & roll. A lot of new stuff to me, and Thermodore and Pete Droge really got my attention (I already loved the Beat Farmers).
...and Pete Droge was where the disc crashed Winamp. In an attempt to hear the rest of the disc I popped it into the car's CD player for a trip to town...which promptly scratched the heck out of it.
So I'll polish it out and get back at it, but all I heard was good stuff!
I'm glad it was good. Pushing 22 songs on a CD can sometimes mess with a player. These are all songs I tried to upload to R.P. in the past... they all got the boot.
Shoulda known this was the Vandals, they're hilarious.
