It is available now at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jedmarum6 and there is more information and there are sound samples at that link. The album is called CROSS OVER THE RIVER and the music is, once again American and Cetic folk in style. It is my second collection of songs about the American Civil War - this time all from a Confederate perspective. I love the album and hope you will too. Friends sometimes ask if I do not gain more if they buy from me directly, and the answer to that question normally is; not really ... CDBaby is a great distribution partner and they really do provide me with value. BUT at this time it is most definitely to my advantage if you buy directly from them. I have sold out all of my copies so I do not have any to sell, at the moment - AND CDBaby has a special sales initiative going on in August - so if you're so inclined, please buy one on-line is Aug. You'll help me out quite a bit! Also, if youCDbaby says the album is backordered,do not worry. There are more on their way to CDBaby and they will be in stock again very quickly. I guess I underestimated my needs for the initial sale of the album - but that's a nice problem to have! Please let me know if you have questions or comments. Thanks and all the best - Jed" Irish & Celtic Music Podcast * Great Celtic CD Giveaway through the podcast. *Speaking of podcasts, more Celtic ones are popping up.
