More free albums....Suburban Home Records & The Ladysails

and you thought it was over! Well I guess that should say I thought it was over.

Well I couldn't NOT tell you about the amazing deal Suburban Home Records is offering right now. In celebration of their 14th anniversary they are offering just about any album in their catalog FREE! Any album you choose. Just go to the Suburban Home Free Album page, enter your email and choose the album you want. Simple as that...and AWESOME!

Might I recommend some things to check out..the killer new Austin Lucas for old time and bluegrass fans (check out ninebullets recent review), Drag The River, Two Cow Garage, for those who like a little punk mixed in with their twang, the underrated Tim Barry. Myself, I will be checking out the new Jon Snodgrass (of Drag The River) and Cory Branan (the guy name dropped in Lucero's "Tears Don't Matter Much") new self-titled collaboration album. If only because it has the most kick ass album cover I may have ever seen!

Ok, so in addition to that, I thought I would also mention that The Ladysails are also offering their new album, and previous album for free here. I haven't listened to it yet, so I can't vouch for it. But it was brought to my attention (thanks kimmytw), so I thought I would bring it to yours.

Free Album Alert: Drag The River - Live At The Starlight

Suburban Home Records has decided to make Drag The River's live album from 2005 "Live At The Starlight" free for download on their site. This album is a great great album, and a great intro to this fine band if you are unfamiliar. These guys all hail from punk rock backgrounds, with singer/guitarist Chad Price formerly fronting punk legends All, singer/guitarist Jon Snodgrass and drummer Paul Rucker from Armchair Martian, and bassist JJ Nobody from The Nobodys. But don't think that means they are a punk band, they are not. Not anymore than Whiskeytown was anyway ('cause punk rock is too hard to sing...get it...).

This album doesn't sound like a live album at all.....only when the banter and crowd come in will you realize it was recorded live. Sounds like a studio album that is.

Fans of Lucero, and Two Cow Garage, will especially like this, but I'm willing to bet these guys can cut a wide swath in their fan base, with Uncle Tupelo, (early) Old 97's, DBT, and Bottle Rockets fans enjoying them as well.

Hell just download it. You can even listen on the site prior to downloading if you want to make sure it's something you want to hear (it is)
