Headphones Recommended: Time. To. Rock.

This might be my last podcast for awhile. I will pretty much reach my 1 gig limit for PodcastMachine's free account. Really can't justify the $9/month for the lowest level pay account. Ideally I want to store the compilations and embed them on this blog. While it lasted, PodcastMachine.com did just that. So, now have to either find an embeddable player program, or more likely find another podcast site with both a free account & embeddable player. Any suggestions or referrals would be much appreciated.

Since I don't know for sure when the next installment is, thought I'd leave y'all w/ one rocking compilation...

Headphones Recommended: An Eclection of Songs

After doing 3 themed comps in a row, just had to throw together an eclectic collection of songs...an Eclection if you will. Looking at these 19 songs, I could easily triple or quadruple this type of compilation. Probably will throughout the next year.

Also, just so y'all know, the album titles of the lists below link to the MP3 albums (CDs if no MP3 is available) of the song featured. So if you really like a particular song on any of the Headphones Recommended comps, click the link & you'll have your choice to download either the album or individual song. I am all about convenience when it comes to acquiring great music.

Headphones Recommended: The Country Mix, y'all

"I hate country music." I've heard that statement many times from many people. Thing is, almost always, their exposure to the country/bluegrass genre has been via top 40 "country" radio stations. I completely agree that the crap they pass as "country" sucks about 49 out every 50 songs. When people assume that what they hear on those radio stations is country, they understandingly make the conclusion they hate country. What is truly sad is they are closing the door to a whole world of some of the best music I've ever heard, alternative country.

Me, I like myself a good twang &/or fiddle on a regular basis. That is pretty much what this compilation consists of, alternative country & bluegrass. Enjoy!
