Free Music Downloads from Andy Hall, IBMA Instrumental Winner

Earlier this morning, we opened up a chance for our readers to win one of three autographed copies of Eli Young Band’s new album, Jet Black & Jealous.
Just to keep things fair, here’s a little something for the traditional country and bluegrass fans out there (courtesy of our friends at Sugar Hill Records).
Andy Hall (of The Infamous Stringdusters) recently took home the International Bluegrass Music Awards trophy for “Instrumental Album Of The Year” for his debut solo record, Sound Of The Slide Guitar.
“While Sound of the Slide Guitar features ample helpings of great acoustic slide and resonator guitar work, Hall spreads the instrumental breaks around judiciously, shining the light equally on the fine batch of musicians on the CD. Overall the project feels more like a group effort instead of merely a platform to showcase Hall’s stellar guitar work. Sound of the Slide Guitar is a solid musical statement featuring some great music from one of Bluegrass’ rising talents.”
–Travis Tackett, BluegrassJournal.com
