Just got an email from Grey Larsen's list regarding his new CD with Cindy Kallett. A remarkable collaboration. You can find it here They've certainly got the music right. But the other thing they've got right is their distribution method. You can get the whole CD for $15.00 plus shipping. Or you can buy individual copies of each of the thirteen tracks for a dollar each on the web site. Or, you can listen to all of the tracks in their entirety, for free, streamed from the site. This 'bread upon the waters' approach seems to be an improvement over even what most CD Baby artists are doing...if more folk artists would use it, folk music might be a lot more competitive in vying for being heard over the 'pop' music the distributors would foist on us and our kids. It seems to be powered by the web site service that they (and Cindy) use for the web site.
