I picked up this two CD set being sold at Quik Trip this morning. Twenty bucks.
I literally squirted a tear or two listening on the way in. I'm telling you, you can't really appreciate the true value that is living in Oklahoma, until you've lived away. This music is so evocative of the State and People I love and which gave me so many opportunities.
The set is titled "Oklahoma Rising" and subtitled "A Salute To The Artists & Music of Oklahoma"
CD 1: Much historical musical greatness, including a compilation of legends including Gene Autry, Sheb Wooley, Leon Russell, Woody Guthrie, Roy Clark, Roger Miller, etc.
CD 2: Vince Gill singing the title track. Its amazing. Seriously.
Includes tracks by Okies: Garth, Reba, Brooks&Dunn, Restless Heart, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Joe Diffie, Bryan White, Blake Shelton, Katrina Elam, The Tractors, The Notorious Cherry Bombs, The All-American Rejects, The Flaming Lips, Kristin Chenowith, Hanson:O and Sandi Patti.
You should buy this thing. You'll be glad you did.
