Various Artists - Smart Choice Music Sampler #1

Smart Choice Music is committed to supporting new and independent artists. Smart Choice Music Sampler #1 showcases the cream of today's independent Americana music.

The sampler was cover mounted on the July 2006 Edition of Maverick Magazine and was available ABSOLUTELY FREE with every order placed through the Smart Choice Music store!

The album is a celebration of the depth and variety of styles that collectively come under the banner of Americana ~ from the emotion and art of the singer-songwriter, through to the hip, young bands forging the crossover between rock and country, the music also heads south to Texas and whiskey-soaked tales of women and small town America, takes in the blues and soul of the deep South before returning to its Appalachian roots and traditional Bluegrass.
