Rural Ledge-ucation #21: Stormy Weather

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it's a hack idea to play "weather" songs in response to Hurricane Irene. What else am I going to do on a lazy Sunday morning? So here it is - just under two hours of tunes that deal with hurricanes, rain, storms, and people named Irene. There's lots of great tunes here, including quite a few I haven't listened to for a long, long time. Download it via the usual methods - iTunes, Stitcher, or directly here!
