In March of this year, the ANTI-label, through its blog, released a 15-song sampler as a free download, a digital collection that included tracks from Billy Bragg, Nick Cave, and Bob Mould. That's no longer available, but ANTI wisely offers samples from new releases, including Jolie Holland's the Living and the Dead, which will be out in October. Right click on Old Fashioned Morphine under "recent media" in the left sidebar for a free taste (or click on the names of the songs here if the links still work). You can also download Black Stars, I Wanna Die, and Back Hand Blues.
You can still download Bring It On by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, and Bob Mould's The Silence Between Us from the site. There are also cuts from a forthcoming live album by Mavis Staples -- We Shall Not Be Moved and On My Way.
"There were trails of fallen trees
Deciduous and weeding marsh
The lowland birds and crickets roared
The final sound of fall
Along the banks of the river
We approached the footbridge
Entering the wilderness
Following my footstep"
"The silence between us is the time
When I can't hear the thoughts
That's on your mind, yeah"
