My friend Jilli G asked me to burn her some twang. i'd been harping on about Lucinda Williams, how she's categorized as "country" but she'll never get airplay on country radio for her lyrics are so raw and real and her music runs the gamut from twang to hardcore rock. So, after several tries, I finally came up w/ the following mix for Jilli G - I hope she likes it, as I'm LOVING it!
