Wayne D's Blog

When trying to figure out what to write about I realized it's been a while since I told you about my emusic.com picks for the month. This I do without malice even though emusic.com decided that I wasn't getting enough signups for the service to let me continue to be an affiliate. I don't see why one more name in the database matters that much, itseems to me with iTunes and Amazon barking at their heels they want all the publicity they could get. See Geoff Smith is neat, emusic doesn't like me and Emusic really does like me for the backstory.

As might be expected this month's picks are heavily influenced by the artists I saw and liked at Summerfolk and who have checked out by the time I made it to the CD sales tent. First up is Sara Hickman and Motherlode. Twenty tracks of musical goodness. Next up is Kim and Reggie Harris. Get on Board is a celebration of African-American culture with a strong gospel flavour.
My final choice is David Roth's Irreconcilable Similarities. This album is what I would call classical folk music, 16 tracks, 73 minutes, great value for the money.

Now it's time for me to go and remove the emusic.com banner from the footer.
