Songwriting information from The Two Dollar Pistols with Tift Merritt:

If Only You Were Mine — John Howie & Tift Merritt

Just Someone I Used To Know — Jack H. Clement (Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton recorded this one, as did George Jones & Tammy Wynette.)

We Had It All — Donnie Fritts & Troy Seals (I'm not sure which version inspired this cover. Willie, Waylon, and Dolly are among the country artists who've recorded this, as have Ray Charles and Tina Turner. The liner notes cite Waylon and Brother Ray.)

Suppose Tonight Would Be Our Last — George Jones & Melba Montgomery

Counting The Hours — John Howie & Tift Merritt

(I'm So) Afraid of Losing You Again — Arthur Leo Owens & Dallas Frazier (The liner notes call this a Charley Pride song.)

One Paper Kid — Walter Martin Cowart (The liner notes cite the version by Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris.)

having just recieved my B&N order can i say that the lou reed song is something special just amazing, heard the harder feeling from the download a great track too, and the broken is a great version, any idea if that was recorded in the same session as tell me something true on the ep.

Since it looks as if your list is designed to compile any song Tift ever has performed, I can think of two more:

Hard Times Come Again No More (Stephen Foster) — performed with the N.C. Symphony [You'll find it among the 96-proof bootlegs]

('Til) I Kissed You (Don Everly) — performed with Teddy Thompson this fall [You'll see this one among the 96-proof bootlegs in the not-too-distant future]

Duck on Bike was apparently a music download web site out of Raleigh.  I would have accessed it a few (hundred?) times, looking for stuff about Tift, although the CD I had of the music that came off that site was given to me by a friend.  WXDU is the Duke studentish-run radio station, where Tift performed live more than once.  You can get some idea about the Duck on Bike site via the Wayback Machine.

Another title that shows up via the above link is "Come and Go Grace," ca. 1999 at latest, although you can't download it anymore.

Yet another is "It's the Shame," from the "Songs for Sixty-Five Roses" benefit CD.  And I repeat that you've also left off "I'll Be Home for Christmas."

Not sure if it is one the songs listed here but there is one where the chrous goes "If I had my way". It is along with Cowboy and Blue Motel my favorite non album track.

JohnPeter,

A reliable source says that line is the title of the song you mentioned. It's a TM original.

If anyone has a bootleg of this tune, the folks at the 96-proof bootleg saloon would love to hear from you.

This one isn't that hard to find, but it's a track I hadn't run across before.

Tift sings a recorded duet with Michael Wexler on "Year Of The Cat," a cover of the Al Stewart hit. The recording apparently came out in 2008.
