Every track on this compilation is unbelievably good, to the point where it's hard to pick a favorite. That said, if Lonnie Eugene Methe and Linda Smith did an entire album together, I would buy it immediately, probably twice
Favorite track: MetheSmith - Wordsworth.

On 19 July 2020 AHT TV broadcast worldwide the draw of the names of the artists who would participate in the second edition of "Road To...".
The presenter, comfortably lying in a hammock, drew one name after another from the urn following only one rule: the artists selected must never have collaborated with each other previously.
The exchange of ideas and the genesis of the songs can take place in many ways, in most cases through the internet, more rarely on a stage or in a recording room.
Why Saint Petersburg and not another city? Because we try to follow the UEFA calendar, choosing the same location chosen to host the Champions League final.
We don't always succeed.
Istanbul, for example, no longer hosted the final in 2020, it was replaced by Lisbon due to the pandemic. Saint Petersburg was supposed to host the next edition but again due to the previous year's move, the 2021 final was hosted by Istanbul. We thought we had to reach Saint Petersburg, then they told us about Istanbul where we had already been for the previous edition. The compilation comes out today, in 2023, the final will take place in London. We are late, but we don't use navigators or maps, we like to look at the stars and get lost.
We are already collecting registrations for the third edition. The final will be played in Munich, we have some time so you can sit and enjoy "Road To Saint Petersburg".
This edition features:
-Crowded Monsters: Doo Crowder + Kyle Wood (Lovers Turn To Monsters, They Ran Out Of Blue)
