Hell Yeah

I put together this mix in honor of my man Greg Vandy's birthday. (Speaking of Greg, what are you doing Wedsnesday night? Well, whatever it is, tune in to his show, The Roadhouse, on KEXP for your roots-rock-soul-and-blues soundtrack.) Anyway, he said he liked it, so I figured I'd post the track listing here.

Methow '05

Ah, just back from a relaxing long weekend in the Methow Valley. Man, that place is something else. Like Washington's own mini-Yosemite, I tell you! There was just barely enough snow, but there was plenty of everything else.

Anyway, here are a few pics of the fun:
