DIY

[suspectclass]

Okay everyone. I'm going to go the cheap frugal route and burn my mom a cd for christmas. Probably along with something else, but she and I have talked about how great it would be to have a cd of socially aware songs from different artists. I know it's been done, but I'd like to do one specific for her. She likes folk rock (all eras) bluegrass, bruce springsteen/REM/Counting Crows (first album) type rock, blues, jazz, and some of the non-pop country artists. Any and every suggestion would be helpful!

bob dylan, joni mitchell, and john prine (especially. . .i love him) would work pretty well, i think.
