The idea behind my choices of songs was both personal and to give a snapshot of each artist,Rod Picott definitely has better songs than the one I chose.Each Artist on the list has a large body of work which has largely gone unheard on here I suspect ,so its great you can explore other tracks by them.
I've been listening to your playlist and I enjoyed it.
I echo some of what others have said, regarding the mid-tempo pacing, but I can see that you are saying that the songs were personal choices, so it makes sense to give your list a unifying theme.
Whilst I enjoyed them all, I think the Neal Casal track was the pick of the bunch. I really liked the mandolin at the start and the general feel. I listened to the album that this was from,
The Sun Rises Here and enjoyed that as well.
Rod Picot is an interesting artist. I've heard a couple of his albums and a few other songs here and there. I prefer it more when he gets his teeth into some subject - e.g. "Welding Burns", "Coal" and on "Sinner's Prayer" from the
Summerbirds album, which I listened to here. I like him less when he is just on about relationships and he tends to sound a bit flat (but I suppose that's the point).
The other tracks were OK, but for some reason I can never get into Richmond Fontaine!
But the playlist worked and it's a nice example of a theme introducing people to different artists.
