My album purchases over the year have been almost exclusively CBG music, there are very few around that can be picked up from my local HMV store, but web sites like CD Baby and Amazon stock them. Many can be ordered from artist's own web sites, or directly from the artists themselves at  Fests and Fairs such as Boxstock, i even managed to shift quite a few myself !

Such is the steadily growing demand from CBG fans for original CBG music these days, and long may it continue, here's a list of my highly recommended purchases this year of commercially and privately released  LP's, CD's and downloads, getting quite a good collection now, so post yours here and let's see how many CBG albums in your collection, there are probably loads out there!

Any 'Nation Artists planning a CD release of their own songs in the future? ...would love to know!
