Jay Bennett's New Album Available for Free Download. 
MP3: The Engines are Idle
Former Wilco mad scientist Jay Bennett has released his latest album, Whatever Happened I Apologize, as a free download from Rock Proper. Click here to grab it free and legally.
I was just having a conversation yesterday with my friend Megan about how changes in the industry are real and not just talking points that music geeks obsess over. Bennett might not still be setting the world on fire with sales, but he is a respectable solid name that can certainly sell enough records to make it worthwhile for any small label to work with him.
Which makes me think about local bands who don't really tour: why aren't you just releasing your music for free instead of spending $1,500 for 1,000 CDs that you'll never sell... If it's good enough for Jay it's good enough for you.
From the press release:
Rock Proper is an online music distributor providing free, high quality, album-length downloads with the legal consent of their creators. Please download this music, share it, and enjoy it in any non-commercial way you deem appropriate... In addition to Jay's record, our site features 10 great reissues for your listening pleasure. Many of these records were recorded at Jay's studio, Pieholden Suite Sound and document some of the many collaborations of a close group of friends focused on Chicago's far north side.
