It's not even right how amazing this is. Chris Young's voice lends itself perfectly to both the classic songs and the original as well. The featured artists were well-picked and well-thought out too. His passion shines through so clearly in that iconic country voice of his. You won't be disappointed.

This was a very interesting book, based on issues of mind control that very well could be happening in our society today. It was fascinating to read an author who delved into this realm.

It almost doesn't make sense to review one year of this series. It's a lifelong companion, and if you have even a someday plan to get a short story published, then you can never give it up. The introductory essay both by the editor and visiting writer are typically annual bellweathers, although I've been hearing a lot of the same themes in the recent years - technological competition for attention span, maybe it will turn out to be benefit for the form, etc (Hey, Selected Shorts and the New Yorker Fiction podcasts, maybe they're right). Russo's intro this year is a fantastic anecdote about I.B. Singer and worth the price of admission.
