Cross Canadian Ragweed - Cross Canadian Ragweed (2002)

Cross Canadian Ragweed is the debut studio album for the country rock band Cross Canadian Ragweed. It includes the singles "17" and "Constantly." The Alternate name for the album is "The Purple Album". The color was chosen in honor of Mandy Ragsdale, the younger sister of the band's drummer, Randy Ragsdale. Mandy died in a car accident near College Station, Texas and the album was dedicated to her. It was also the band's first album on the Universal South record label.

William Ruhlmann of Allmusic said, "what impresses most is the overall sound of a band who has forged a distinctive style within a conventional genre through years of playing."
