Free music

Friday, August 24th, 2007

I finally got around to listening to this week’s free iTunes downloads, and they’re not bad, certainly better than most of the stuff you’d get from the Facebook Samplers.

King Wilkie’s “Wrecking Ball” is an up-tempo americana/bluegrass tune with an energetic but clean combination of banjo, guitar, and mandolin; if you’re not familiar with the group, think a poor man’s Nickle Creek with male vocals.  Their debut album was a big success and looks like they’ve followed up with a winner.

The latin freebie is Kacy Garcia’s “Esta Soledad”, def. worth a listen.  She’s got a powerful voice.
