Summer 2016 Road Trip sampler - Various Artists

Artist: Various Artists

Album: N/A

Description: This is a solid 11 tracks -- more than 35 minutes -- of music courtesy of artists working with Sugar Mountain PR this spring and summer.  It's called a "road trip" sampler, but there's nothing necessarily summer- or vacation-themed about it.  But with songs from Frances England, the Sugar Free Allstars, and the Not-Its, the Okee Dokee Brothers, and more -- not to mention songs from as-yet-unreleased albums by The Whizpops, Brady Rymer, and 123 Andres -- it will do just nicely even if you're just shuttling the kids to the municipal pool or lounging around at home.  Grab it quickly, as it'll only be available for the downloading through May 25.

Frances England Songbook, Vol. 1 - Frances England

Artist: Frances England​

Song: N/A

Album: N/A

Description:​ OK, this is slightly different from what I normally post here in that although it's "free" and it's "music," it's not "free music."  England recently released Volume 1 of her songbook, featuring lyrics and chords to four of her most popular songs -- "Jacques Cousteau," "Daddy-O," "Sometimes," and "You & Me."  I guess once you start playing it yourself, then it is, in fact, "free music."  You can grab the songbook (and her free iOS app "Draw on the Table" from her "Fun" page, or download the songbook directly.
