This was released in 1995. I bought it from some guy when I was in college. I'm reviewing it in 2025.

1. "Send Me On My Way", by Rusted Root: This is probably the song I remember best from this CD. I don't recall ever hearing it anywhere else, but apparently it's the band's biggest hit. It's got a sort of world music sound. It's really cool.

2. "That's Just What You Are", by Aimee Mann: This is my second best remembered song on the album. It's also very cool.

3. "Crash-The '95 Mix", by The Primitives: I didn't remember this just from the title, but once I heard it upon my re-listen, it was totally familiar. And cool. Looking it up on Wikipedia, I see it was also on the "Dumb & Dumber" soundtrack, and I also own that CD, so it's not surprising it sounds so familiar.

4. "I Walked", by Wanderlust: I don't particularly remember this, but I like it.

5. "Smog Moon", by Matthew Sweet: I even more don't remember this one. But it's okay.

6. "Ain't Had Enough Fun", by Little Feat: I also don't remember this, but I like it. The band's Wikipedia page says they do Southern rock and swamp rock. I don't know which one this would be, but I'd say this sounds kind of like a mix of rock, zydeco, and gospel.

7. "Wide Open Wide", by From Good Homes: This might sound slightly familiar, upon re-listen. I'm not sure. It's good, though.

8. "Feel My Way", by The Mysteries of Life: This sounds unfamiliar, but it's okay.

9. "South of I-10", by Sonny Landreth: This is also unfamiliar, but it's okay. Wikipedia says the album it's from is blues, but it sounds more to me like country rock, with a little bit of zydeco.

10. "Johnny Have You Seen Her", by The Rembrandts: I was expecting this to be familiar, and it is. The band is best known for "I'll Be There For You", which of course is much more familiar to me, but this is cool, too.

So... overall I think this album is a good mix of artists and musical styles. I'm really glad I bought it, even if I only find maybe half the songs memorable. They're all good, and the memorable ones are really good.
