One of my friends is into some of the same kind of music I am, and I decided to make him a mixed CD of the Screaming Trees. He's really into classic rock, psychedelic/acid rock, and old-school blues and folk, so I tried to put together some Screaming Trees stuff that incorporates those, plus some good ol' hard rock. What do you guys think of the tracklist I made? 1: Halo of Ashes 2: Change Has Come 3: Dying Days 4: Sworn and Broken 5: Troubled Times 6: Paperback Bible 7: Traveler 8: Alice Said 9: Butterfly 10: All I Know 11: Watchpocket Blues 12: Tomorrow Changes 13: Hold On (Gospel Plow) 14: Nearly Lost You 15: Where Did You Sleep Last Night (with Kurt Cobain) 16: Halo of Ashes [Live] - not listed

There are some weak songs in here, especially watchpocket blues and paperback bible
1: Halo of Ashes 2: Change Has Come--cut 3: Dying Days 4: Sworn and Broken 5: Troubled Times 6: Paperback Bible---cut 7: Traveler 8: Alice Said 9: Butterfly 10: All I Know 11: Watchpocket Blues--cut 12: Tomorrow Changes--cut 13: Hold On (Gospel Plow)--the song is actually called gospel plow 14: Nearly Lost You 15: Where Did You Sleep Last Night (with Kurt Cobain) 16: Halo of Ashes [Live] - not listed---cut
The trees were not an amazing live band. you're better off with studio tracks. Think about adding Jule Paradise, Dying Days, Dime Western (especially if they like psychadelic rock) Shadow of the Season, and Lay Your Head Down instead.
If you can find them, their covers of Darkness Darkness from the True Lies Soundtrack and their cover of working class hero from the Lennon tribute record are both fantastic.

actually I can't even remember how change has come goes, which doesn't really commend the song. Tomorrow Changes is vaguely pleasant but you could do so much better. And I think paperback bible is just flat out weak. have you heard the working class hero cover? I'd certainly throw that on. It's fantastic

I already made the CD but I'd love to hear it.
