the beauty of #MixDay is that each mixtaper provides a little unique slice of their musical life. variety is, in fact, the spice of said life. but occasionally, we get caught in a bit of a pop/rock/rap rut here at the #MixDay headquarters. enter jennifer pyron, editor of @LRFamily, stage left. she's single-handedly pulled us out of the rut and into a solid mix of classic country, where outlaws and loose women ruled the day.

so, strap on your cowboy boots and enjoy the ride.
