Sixty Years War Collective is presenting a series of Mixtapes, showcasing great independent artists who are not necessarily associated with the collective. For each mix, a member of the collective will pick ten of their favorite independent musicians and bands to showcase. This second mix was compiled by James Musselman with a good deal of help from Chris Darby. Two of the songs on this mix are exclusives, “I Will Follow” by Barnswallow and “Walking Birds” by Aaron Bowen.
This is the second quad split, complied by Chris Darby, and released by Sixty Years War Collective.
My goal with these splits is to connect hard working artists from around the country, who I feel fit together on the same cd. The challenge is for each artist to come up with three songs exclusively for the split, which won’t be released anywhere else (at least in the same form). So you will always hear something new with these splits, even if you already know the artist.
I am hoping to continue to put together one of these every year. This is the second split I have organized, and it is really, really wonderful.
Many thanks to William Blackart (Arkansas), Bunny Day and the Mercy Buckets (Kentucky), Cinder Conk (Maine), and Helen Kellers Ukulele (Alabama), for being involved in this years split.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed putting it all together.

Elder is a sign of evolutionary change, a transition from one state to another. Old things are passing away and new things will take their place. It is a time of letting go of what holds you back. It is important to come to terms with change during this cycle. Everything changes and transforms. All life is beginnings and endings, birth, death, and rebirth.
