More Music On The iPod Shuffle, Contest Ending Soon
We’ve been working with a few labels throughout the month to get some music on the iPod Shuffle for our contest, but have been waiting until we received the CDs in the mail before updating details here on the website. Fortunately, we’ve verified quite a few new albums that will be included on the iPod. I was surprised by the support we received from the labels and managers. If you enjoyed this contest and are appreciative of the artists and labels allowing us to give away their music, please let them know, and thank them for their support. I’ll write a post thanking them at the end of the contest and try to post contact details for everyone that participated. Now on to the recent additions.
Aaron Watson
We have been working with Aaron’s management company to get some of his music on the iPod and they graciously agreed to participate right away. I had the pleasure to see Aaron in person at the Gruene With Envy Awards a couple of days ago and this is definitely an excellent addition to the iPod.
Joey Allcorn
I was goofing around on the internet when I came across Joey’s website. I loved the samples, so I sent an email to his management to request a CD. You can expect a review once we receive his album. Both, Joey and his management, agreed to participate in the contest. Phoenix Publicity and Promotions even sent along the following CDs to review and each of the artists agreed to participate in the contest as well.
The Skeeters
The deep voice of the lead singer and smooth lyrics were an instant hit with me once I checked out some of The Skeeters’ samples. This is another album that I’m really looking forward to listening to once it gets here.
Tony Brook
“Jelly don’t shake like that… must be jam.” When I went to Tony’s MySpace page, those are the first lyrics I heard. I have to admit, they earned a little chuckle, but they weren’t quite my forte. Tony’s less funky songs are worth more than just one listen, though.
Brigitte London
For some reason her name sounds familiar to me, but I can’t place it. No matter, I won’t forget who she is next time I hear her name. Brigitte says she loves real rootsy country, gritty blues, lots of soul, and great rock and roll. She manages to combine those different styles into her music and the result sounds great.
Honky Tonk Disciples
The Honky Disciples say they “fall in between the boundaries of traditionally influenced country music spawned by Buck Owens and Hank Williams Sr., to the hard drinking and hard living musical era of Gram Parsons and the Rolling Stones.” I think these guys fill a niche quite nicely and kick the rowdy level up a notch, but they’re not one dimensional if that’s what you’re thinking.
