This compilation album covers a great spectrum of independent artist’s songs being performed by a talented group and recorded in Nashville, TN. The cover tells me that was a low-budget project, but knowing the quality of music would sell itself. Stylistically, this albums touches folk-rock in a deliberate way. I really like the flow from top to bottom of the song list. I will also say that this is a true all-American album, but it does have many parts that show immature recording technique, forgetting even compilations have consistency…not here.

So, by the time to reach the end of the record you are treated with track 9, “4:30 in Memphis.” Now, this track definitely doesn’t belong on this album. It should be on it’s own record. This is a hit type song. Everything labels could have been looking for thirty-years ago. This is good…I dig this track. Overall, I can tell this was a fun album to put together. There were a lot of people involved. If you get a chance, support these guys. They are putting effort into bringing attention to songwriters just like you. Enjoy it.

Favorite Track: 9, “4:30 In Memphis”
