1. Intentional Heartache, Dwight Yoakam.
   This as about as country as I will get. Nevertheless, a nice rockin' twang song. Available as a free download on AOL Music.
2. One of the Fortunate Few, Delbert McClinton.
   I had the pleasure to see Delbert live this summer where he announced that he'd have a new album in the coming weeks. I'm happy to say that day has come.
3. Free Man Now, Southern Bitch.
   I first heard this tune back in March on the SXSW web site. It was finally released this month.
4. Marlene, Last Train Home.
   This band has been a favorite of mine this summer.
5. The Art of Virtue, Adrienne Young.
6. Master of Disaster, John Hiatt.
7. Gramophone, Son Volt.

   Available as a free download from Redeye Distribution.
9. Twin Cinema, The New Pornographers.
   Available as a free download from Amazon.com.
10. Vegas, Two Tons of Steel.
    I visited Las Vegas for the first time in my life last month. This will serve as a little audio souvenir.
11. Crazy As a Loon, John Prine.
12. Say You Love Me, Rodney Crowell.
13. What I Really Mean, Robert Earl Keen.
    It took a DirectTV Freeview concert to win me over as a Robert Earl Keen fan. There's no turning back.
14. Walter Reed, Michael Penn.
    Available as a free download from Amazon.com.
15. Simple As It Should Be, Tristan Prettyman.
    Up and coming pop-folk artist. So far she's drawing comparisons to Jewel and Jack Johnson.
