Craz's Cashworthy Music List

 
If you're like me, you remember as a kid, going to the record stores and searching through bin after bin of records to find that golden gem by your favorite band. Nothing could compare with bringing that new record home, playing it for the first time on your turn-table, reading the liner notes, checking out the cover art and being rewarded with awe-inspiring music from the greats of Rock & Roll.

With so much of today's music in digital collections, we can download, upload and rip to get virtually any song that we desire. In this digital age, is all to easy to forget that the talented musicians are loosing a lot of money to music downloading. In this section, I have tried to begin to compile a list of music so good, by artists, that we as a community of music lovers, need to support. It is my hope that by letting you know about new music from talented  artists that have stood the test of time, that you will want more than just a file on your computer and help support their sales by going to a local store and purchasing a CD. This not only helps support the musicians, but also the local record shops in your community. So please check these new offerings out and if you like what you hear, don't download the music, got out and buy the record and help support these great musicians. Remeber you can still get that same feeling from playing a new CD, but now you need your bi-focals to read the liner notes and enjoy the cover art - Craz
