One of the best mixtape´s of 2008 for me was undoubtedly $olal´s “Back To The Country” mix. Put together by Philippe Cohen-Solal, the brain behind Gotan Project from Paris, it presented his new love affair for country music. The mix which includes Neil Young, Johnny Cash and Switch too also features a lot of tracks from his new solo project Moonshine Sessions, which released its debut album in 2007.
