Aaron Sprinkle and Scott Hunter went into the studio late last year and remixed a tune or two of Poor Old Lu songs. They wanted to put 'em out somewhere, and this 'best of' CD was as good a place as any. Here we have classics like "All Pretty for the TV," "Ring True," "For the Love of My Country," and one of my all-time favorites, the powerful "What if Uncle Ben Had Lived." But also here are tasteful remixes of "Where Were All of You" and "Chance for the Chancers." Everything sounds great, both from a sonic perspective and from the view of a longtime fan.
