Amazon's rankings and classification system are surely mysteries, but it looks like Another Country may be getting a bump from See You on the Moon.  It's up to  96 in "Singer-Songwriters."  Perhaps it's been there all along and I just didn't look.  It now seems to reside as a "classic" given its company.

See You on the Moon is apparently not a "Singer-Songwriter" album, otherwise it would be number one (ahead of Leonard Cohen, as well as Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's Raising Sand, which you may recall Tift displaced at #1 on the Americana Music Associate chart after a long run).

If you can figure, See You on the Moon ranks #22 in COUNTRY(?), second highest rated pre-release on that chart.

Write to amazon.com and point out their categorization error.  Who knows, it might actually work.

Here's what I wrote them:

Tift Merritt's previous album, "Another Country," was listed in the "Alt-Country & Americana" category (Music > Indie Music > Country > Alt-Country & Americana), but "See You On The Moon" (ASIN B003FBNJ5O) is, for some reason, listed only in "Country," in which it most definitely does NOT belong.

This album should probably be in both "Alt-Country & Americana" and "Music > Folk > Singer-Songwriters".

Here's what came back today:
