  • good stuff vinylhed - nepotism rules! we're well into 3 figures for downloads so keep leaking the word and sharing the music.

    uncle tainty? lol

  • It was friend's radio show which he presents most weekends. Each week there's a theme and I'm always suggesting left field tunes that they've never heard. This week they were celebrating the albums of the year, so I cheekily and jokingly suggested the Rants and Raves album. I only meant to get a little free publicity and a few more downloads, and my friend only goes and plays my tune on his show. 

    And the moral to this story is never be afraid to whore yourself out and subscribe to a healthy dose of nepotism. 

  • I'm led to believe that a track from the album is going to get national airplay on the radio in the UK. CSRfm are playing tracks from the albums of the year right now. To check it out follow the link:

    Cigar Box Nation on the radio!

    • Did they play it?  I tuned in a little while after you posted and didn't hear any CBG music, but it was fun listening to some UK radio over coffee this morning.

      • i  tuned  in  for  a  bit  ,    i  heard  them  mention cbn   and  that  we  had  free  albums  that       folks  could   download  free  .  but  i  did  not  hear  them  play any  . 

  • Okay.   I finally viewed the list of performers and listened to samples.   I am downloading NOW.

  • Great job everyone some great stuff on This Album*****

  • just listened to the whole album while decorating. Anything that makes painting skirting boards enjoyable has got to be good!! Definitely my favorite CB Nation album : -)

  • I've been listening to the album on my commute to and from work today, and it's a real grower. This is definitely my favourite of all the various albums that have been produced here. It's the song writing that has impressed me the most. Flash production and virtuoso playing mean nothing if the song ain't there.   

    • this echoes my own thoughts entirely vinylhed, you can only go so far with the cover version albums - being original means you can share the music anywhere without any legal hassles. and it gives everyone a chance to write some new material or maybe try a new style of playing. round of applause to you guys
