Midnight Rain - collection of easy listening tracks

Well I'm back from my recent break due to our house being packed up to get some renovations done.  They're now completed and I've got all my gear set back up again just in time for Xmas break.  Thank goodness as not having the stereo for several weeks has been a killer.

To get back into it I've got a compilation to share that I titled Midnight Rain.  I had a few songs sitting in a folder that I'd been looking to mix.  One night I was lying in bed listening to a thunderstorm and couldn't sleep so I got up and got to work. For a bit of fun I added a little bit of rain as an intro to the opening Daughtry track just to give it the same ambiance as what I was listening to as I was pulling this mix together.  Hope you enjoy.......

Midnight Rain

Headin' Down South - music from the southern states

I used to work on an offshore oil rig in the 70's with guys from Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.  It was during this time that I got to hear different types of music from the southern US states that I normally would not have heard in my native New Zealand.  Southern Rock is the most common subgenre of rock that is associated with the south, which tends to cross the rock n' roll, blues and country genres and is often linked to popular bands like The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd or The Marshall Tucker Band.  However, in this compilation, I've deliberately stayed away from those bands and instead selected a snapshot of tracks that expresses the experience I had following my introduction to music from the south lands.
