Hey, gang, here's a list of artists that I've "discovered" recently that I really like. I've changed my attitude lately towards supporting these and similar artists. I actually go to their websites and BUY the CD's, t-shirts, etc. I will NOT give away those CD's etc. for free. These people need our money and support and they well deserve it. If you want free music, feel free to download all the Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, etc. stuff you can find. They're not going to miss a few bucks. Support your local (or not so local) artist! Buy their stuff, send them an email telling how much you love their sound, go see them in person if you can, and generally be supportive of them. Good music is out there, you just have to look a little harder for it. Here's my list: (additions/revisions, no doubt, to come)

I'm going to load my MP3 player with music from these artists. I will probably continue to post VA albums here since I don't think that's hurting anybody.
Great list. I'd add Brennan Leigh to the mix, too.

ReplyDeleteGood thing ya don't feel that way about Anchored in Love. Or the Imus Ranch. Or any of the other stuff ya give away. Them folks? "They deserve it."
Thass why you a Deacon. You iz one Godly man.
Hot Club of Cowtown, ALL their albums, are GREAT. I got their first cd from a friend, she didn't care for them but she handed it to me and said "Maybe you'll like them, Rosenda." And I did and she was RIGHT. Amaaaaazing. Great music.
