The country influence is pretty nominal in the case of some of these songs, but not being a purist, I'm willing to pay it as an overall mix. Unsurprisingly, a fair few that I already knew (7 of 20 - from Neko Case, Wilco, Beth Orton, Rilo Kiley, Radiohead, k.d. lang and Camera Obscura) and lots of other familiar artists (Patty Griffin, Decemberists, Hem, Springsteen, etc), and the rest are nice too.
