How can I put this? There have been years where the Athfest official cd has been, well, underwhelming. Thankfully, 2012 is not one of those years. Lots of personal favorites on here, from Ruby Kendrick to Efren. Glad to see Yo Soybean made the cut as well as the excellent effort by Patterson Hood & co. All in all, I can fully recommend you pick this one up.
