Post Free Downloads Available Online

Thought it would be fun to have a thread for music fans to post songs, albums, or concerts that artists have made available for free download online.  

 

I'll start the thread with the 2011 concert that Josh Ritter recently made available for free download on noisetrade.com

(EDITORS NOTE: If you are an artist wanting to post your music on the site please post it on this discussion thread rather than here.

I didn't realize this thread existed.  I'll repost a comment I made on another forum: 

A good friend of mine and Seattle area chanteus, Jessica Lynne,  alerted me to an online music contest for Dodge.  I have no interest in promoting a car company, but I found it relevant for this site.  It allows you to "vote" for your favorite band by downloading songs.  Some of  them are weak sauce, but others are good.  I think many of these bands are unknown or indie.  Anyway, if you have a Facebook account there are 500 free songs, from many different genres, to download.  I was searching the "country" category and found some good music.

Check it out here:  Free Music

Also, listen to Jessica Lynne.  IMHO, she has some real talent.

I don't have a specific artist or release to recommend, but if you're looking for free releases you really should explore www.archive.org and especially the Netlabels section and Community Audio section.  If you're unfamiliar with the term a "netlabel" is structured primarily to release music through download, and many (most?) of these netlabels do their releases under one of the Creative Commons Share-Alike liscenses that allow you to download and share the music with others for free.  Archive.org also has a Live Archive section that includes recordings of over 100,000 concerts by bands that allow taping at their shows.

Jack Tempchin, who wrote some of the Eagles' music, (Peaceful Easy Feeling, Already Gone to name a couple) has a new CD coming out September 25.  He has a free download available of a new song called "There's A Party Tonight", with Joe Walsh on lead guitar.  All you gotta do is sign up for his (Jack's) fan club on ReverbNation.com.  I downloaded the track yesterday, and I have to say, Joe Walsh still has it.

                                       New Upcoming Release of CD: GONE SO LONG Walt Cronin Martin

Our title track GONE SO LONG is being made available as a free download only from SoundCloud to show appreciation for all our past support. High quality MP3.

Gone So Long conveys a longing for home and friends back in Illinois.
Who doesn't feel homesick even if you've lived half your life away from those memories and people who you were most connected to?
The full CD is still being completed but delayed until beginning of the new year due to health issues.
Hope you enjoy! Walt           https://soundcloud.com/waltcronin
