YAY THANK YOU!

I love how you've managed to capture Dean musically while also making the choices slightly different to reflect the genderbend.
This is really wonderful. ♥

Thank you thank you! Oh man I am so happy to hear that you think the mix captures essence of Dean while still working for Deanna - that's definitely what I was trying to do with the female covers of the rock songs. So glad you like ♥

LOVE the choice of using classic rock songs covered by women here; all your song choices look great. Also, your cover art is insanely pretty (especially love the map) and I really like your casting. Normally I don't like genderbends of Sam and Dean because people cast super femme women wearing a lot of make-up and nice clothing? (Not that I have a problem with femme-ness/make-up, but I feel like hunting demons in a mini-skirt would be difficult). But your casting choice is perfect - feminine without looking too made up. And I love you for putting a Cowboy Junkies song on here - I just started listening to them recently and I'm really enjoying them. Downloading (obviously), thank you!

Oh wow, I am so glad you liked all the choices I made with this mix! I went with the female covers not only because I wanted to give Deanna the same kind of tragic American hero vibe that Dean has going in show, but also because these are the songs I grew up listening to, and they became impossibly more powerful when I heard women singing them and just asdlfkjasdf feels for all those songs.

That map is my favorite! All credit for it goes to familiardevil who very kindly shared it when I made grabby hands after it appeared on one of her many wonderful mixes

I might just have to see Drive Angry now. ;) And yes, fem!Dean would be naturally pretty, but probably wouldn't bother trying alter her appearance at all.

The only album I have of theirs so far is The Nomad Series, Vol. 4 and out of those songs, my favorites are probably "Damaged from the Start" and "Fuck, I Hate the Cold."
