Face it, if you live in Chicago, then you are well aware of Bloodshot Records. They almost singlehandedly put "alt. country" on the map with seminal releases from the likes of Robbie Fulks, the Bottle Rockets, and others while maintaining an amazingly consistent string of great new releases going into their 16th year of operation.
Like any great label, Bloodshot pulls out the stops right around the holidays and this year is no exception.
For starters, they've released a brand-new digital-only sampler that is available for the amazing price of ABSOLUTELY FREE! It features kickin' tracks from the likes of the Old 97's, Exene Cervenka, the aforementioned Bottle Rockets, Alejandro Escovedo, Bobby Bare Jr., and several other notable acts. You can download it HERE!
As if that weren't enough, the label's Annual Holiday Sale features discounted pricing on 90 of the label's releases, as well as free goodies starting at all purchases over $10. Obviously, the more you spend, the better the goodies. Check HERE for more deets.
