My folks and I eventually found this copy at a Meijer (or maybe a Target?) and I needed it to replace the old one and keep my nighttime listening consistent. We had to trash it because it kept skipping through my songs. The first was my DadвЂ™s that I borrowed and literally wore out because I played it so many times. This particular CD is the second of three(!) copies of this album that I have owned at one point or another. I did realize though, the same songs that I listened to on repeat all those years ago were the exact same ones I enjoyed listening to again on the drive in. Listening to it again today, almost assuredly for the first time since then, itвЂ™s mind boggling that this worked as a sleep aid for so many years. I think I listened to it each and every night from when I was 6 or so, until I was 9 or 10. I think these tracks, to me, were the most engaging and easily accessible, and the repetition helped me sleep. The same was true of Garth BrookвЂ™s вЂњAinвЂ™t Going Down (Till the Sun Comes Up)вЂќ a few years earlier- but more on that in a later blog.

I couldnвЂ™t figure out how to include any songs after track 10 and besides, these were the most up-tempo, loudest, sing-along tunes that as it happens, eased me to sleep as a child. I pre-programmed my stereo system to only play tracks 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10. You see, I would put on this CD to fall asleep to every single night. Incredibly though, this is probably the CD I listened to the most as a child. TodayвЂ™s commute was probably my first time circling back to the country-loving era of my life and the first time I put on this album in probably 20 years.

I had just ripped the Top-40 Country New YearвЂ™s Eve countdown ( this was the top song of the year) to a cassette from the radio, but abandoned it in favor of The OC soundtrack and the alternative bands my friends were getting into. I stopped listening to radio-friendly country music in 2004, and I can vividly recall that being the year. Naturally, I grew up with it.ДЄs happens though, my music tastes evolved as I became more independent. My Texas-born-and-raised Dad listened to it and still does. It offered a clear picture of the world and easy-mantras on life, love, cars, and heartbreak.

As a child and into my pre-teen years, I loved Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks and Reba McEntire and the whole down-home, country-fried lifestyle. This morningвЂ™s commute was half an exercise in nostalgia, and half a trip wondering what makes these songs вЂњthe greatest hitsвЂќ.ДЇor the record, I used to be super into country music.
