A Wealth of New Music

A Wealth of new Music - Speaking of the Apple iTunes Store, if you're one of the fortunate few with access to it, you have to check out the HUGE new collection from new music Tuesday September 23.

It looks like a big addition of a whole lot of the RCA catalogue (everything from some great old classical recordings to Hot Tuna to Sonny Rollins and Steven Sondheim) and the Rounder catalog (John Hartford, the Alan Lomax collection of folk and "primitive" music, the Library of Congress recordings of Ledbelly, Sun Ra, and a fabulous Brave Combo CD featuring the late great Tiny Tim as guest vocalist on songs like Stairway to Heaven and Hey Jude (cha cha cha) -- Couldn't resist that one - a steal a 99 cents. If you don't know Brave Combo, look for "Do Something Different" and "Always Vienna" to hear what hooked me on them.) There's also a whole slew of live Pearl Jam concerts, the Persuasions and the Nylons for your a capella pleasure.

Like I said, a HUGE new list. Check it out if you're a Mac person, and if you're not, just think what you've got waiting for you later this year.
