$5 Albums for September 2011

Mixtape

Good, cheap music for September. Here are my favorite $5 albums from Amazon. Let me know what you like on my list, or something I missed!

Music Monday 1.2.2011

Check out the True Grit score. It's mostly variations on "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" and a couple other protestant hymns. Just beautiful. I particularly love the closing credits version of "Leaning..." by the wonderful country-folk singer, Iris Dement...

I'm discovering a bunch of new stuff because of "Best Albums of 2010" lists. Three I'm loving are Best Coast: Crazy For You ($5), Swans: My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky ($5), & Buke and Gass: Riposte ($5). I liked it so much I had to watch the Buke and Gass video for "Page Break" twice...
