between the dirt and sky contains at least mostly songs that appear on other jeff lang cds. it may or may not contain any unreleased material (and if so its only a few songs at most). but the song selection here is masterful. every song on this collection is a gem, and lets lang's skills on guitar, vocals and songwriting shine. this may not be for someone who has a lot of jeff lang's releases, but its a fantastic place to start, or to give as a gift. fans of the great, departed, chris whitley should take not of jeff lang (they did the fantastic "dislocation blues" cd together).
