I made another CD for my father last weekend, and sent it off along with some maple-flavoured chocolate that we picked up in Montreal (at Suite 88, whose site is still dead, dammit!). The lineup:

• Old Crow Medicine Show . “Wagon Wheel”
• Cowboy Junkies . “Misguided Angel”
• Blanche . “Superstition”
• Grant Lee Phillips . “Susanna Little”
• Holly Golightly . “Without You Here”
• Isobel Campbell And Mark Lanegan . “Black Mountain”
• Jack Rose . “Sunflower River Blues”
• Cat Power . “Could We”
• Robbie Faulks . “Cry Cry Cry”
• Clearlake . “Trees In The City”
• Robert Cray & Shemekia Copeland . “I Pity The Fool”
• Rocco Deluca . “Gift”
• Pedro The Lion . “Criticism As Inspiration”
• Royal City . “Under A Hollow Tree”
• Constantines . “Soon Enough”
• Sarah Harmer . “I’m A Mountain”
• Sebadoh . “Perfect Day”
• Lonnie Pitchford . “Lonesome Blues”
• Neko Case . “John Saw That Number”
• Sinead O’connor . “All Apologies”
• Set Fire To Flames . “Fading Lights Are Fading”

Little blues, little indie, little CanCon. That should hold him ’til xmas.
