A new comp for a new year

Over on the Lucero Message board, we have ushered in 2008 with one of our best comp efforts to date. I advise you to download it, pour yourself a whiskey drink while it comes down, then sit back and let the musical goodness wash over you like a warm buzz. You can head over to the Lucero Message board to see who submitted each track and a brief description of why they chose that specific track. You can even download it here for the next 2 weeks or so. If you enjoy it, sign up for the message board and contribute to the February comp.
