Okay, by song two, my iPod had settled into a groove, serving up some of Texas's finest alt-country ("whatever that is"), but by song six, things had just turned blue, like way blue.
- 'The Great Leap Forwards,' Billy Bragg
- 'Horseshoe Lounge,' Slaid Cleaves (okay, I know Slaid grew up in Maine, but he lives in South Austin now, and I'm guessing few Mainers seem as authentically Texan as Slaid does. But here's a question: when's he gonna put out another album of Broke Down caliber again?)
- 'Transcendental Blues,' Steve Earle
- 'Still Learning How to Fly,' Rodney Crowell
- 'Go to Sleep Alone,' Jimmie Dale Gilmore
- 'Give a Man a Home,' Ben Harper
- 'Fake Plastic Trees,' Radiohead
- 'Have You Forgotten,' Red House Painters
- 'Nothing as it Seems [live],' Pearl Jam
- 'Pilgrim,' Steve Earle and The Del McCoury Band
