    In Oct 2010 a “best of” Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez album, The New Bye & Bye – The Best of The Trainwreck Years (2002-2007) was released. It features 13 fan favorites and 4 new songs. It serves as a perfect coda to their partnership together. Highly recommended for those who always loved her work with Chip and those who have discovered her since.
