Independent music, Independent spirit

Some real treats this week in that authentic, passionate music vein, and a chance for you to get free, no-strings music. As you know by now, this podcast and little blurb are big fans and supporters of Shooter Jennings and the associated artists over at givememyxxx.com. Shooter and the bands over there have put together a compilation; Southern Independents, Vol. 1, 12 tracks and different artists in all, and you'll get to hear all 12 here this week. As well, jump that link and head over there, and you can download it for free. If that's too much for you, and you don't want to download it, just leave a comment here at this space, and I'll even burn you a physical one with a track listing and get it out to you and cover the postage. The other half of the artists this week cover two incredible guitar slingers whom you wouldn't suspect of being that good (you'll have to listen to it to find out who these two 70's icons are, and they're not two of the normal suspects. Another blues guitar slinger you've never heard of from Britain, Blackie and The Rodeo Kings, Truth and Salvage Co., Justin Townes Earle and Dave Alvin with the definitive Johnny Ace song. The Southern Independents include: Shooter, Robert Earl Reed, Slackeye Slim, Dallas Moore, Rachel Brooke, Jimbo Mathus, Fifth on The Floor, Last False Hope, Bob Wayne, J.B. Beverly, The Drive-By Truckers and Hellbound Glory. Give it a listen, thanks for stopping by, and remember to "Like" Music that Doesn't Suck Canal Water on Facebook, or The Desolation Angel.
