I was burned this compilation and have been listening to it a lot lately. Anyone else heard it? I assume most of the songs are known individually. I had never heard Bloody Mary Morning before - watch this space for me eventually gushing about Willie Nelson 30 years too late. I'll kick it off by voting for it.
