Well let me give you a run down on their albums..

Their debut album Don't Fall In Love With Everyone You See is a much more rootsy alternative country, at times indie-folk album. It has Westfall and Okkervil River Song on it.

Black Sheep Boy which contains For Real, Song Of Our So-Called Friend and of course, Black Sheep Boy is the Dave and mines favorite Okkervil River album. I believe its his favorite album ever? If not its one of his, and certainly one of mine. Its a much much more emotional release, musically its hard to pin, but you've heard a few of the tracks so I don't know if I need to or not. It contains some of their most dark stuff but its a brilliant album.

The Stage Names which contains John Allyn Smith Sails and Savannah Smiles is a more rock release, but still has hints at their alt-country roots. Its their most upbeat and accessible. Anyway i'm going to start assembling the compilation now, if its not up my later tonight it'll be up by tomorrow.

They also have another album Down The River Of Golden Dreams, but I really havn't listened to it too much. It has one song It Ends With a Fall, that I like alot though which will be in the next compilation.

It most certainly is my favorite album, well, it plus the appendix, such a flawless release. Get Big, A Stone, So Come Back I Am Waiting, Another Radio Song- those are my favorites. It has some really good stand out tracks and then it flows so well from one track to the next.

Down The River of Golden Dreams isn't all that spectacular, it's like an inbetween of Don't Fall In Love With Everyone You See and The Stage Names.

The Bold is what I added of course, I am a fan of this band for sure, not sure I see what makes them so great to some of you guys, but I just started listening to them so naturally I suppose. Thanks for making the compilations, I enjoyed them!

Don't Fall In Love is a fantastic album, good choice.

On the download!

I have only listened to the Ben Harper compilation so far. I like his voice, and of course I have heard it before, but his music is quite generic to my ears. Nothing has stayed within my listening radar. Keep them coming though!
