Release: 2004
Format: CD
Notes: this is a second promo CD released for the
Strange Mess of Flowers
box set, though the title suggests it’s also for DG’s catalog in
general. Most of the songs are the same versions as the box set, but
there are some fun differences in this collection. Invisible, There Go
the Weirdos, It’s a Wonder and Sadrigals were only available here.
Invisible was later released on
ACL: Eastbound, Weirdos & It’s a Wonder (although in a very slightly different mix) were later released on
Rare Bear Theatre. Sadrigals is the true gem in this collection, as it’s the same basic version that later appeared on
Chuy Chuy Y’all,
but it’s longer by about 30 seconds and a very different mix. Besides
those four songs, both Pride & Joy/Rude Mood and El Pajarillo
Jilguero did not appear on the box set, but were previously released on
Covers/Colcha. Enhanced CD contained a sample of the
Strange Mess of Flowers DVD.
