From his website…

This is my first solo record. I’m head over heels about it. Everything was recorded in Austin, TX at my house. Download it, burn it, put it on in your car or on your home stereo and turn it up loud.

You can preview the songs right on the landing page of the link above. I have to say that the first thing I thought of as the title track started playing was how much I miss living in Austin, Texas.

Check him out at MySpace and Facebook.

I learned of this at Mashable.com’s Free Music Monday..check that out too!

Although it is not yet available in the United States, keep your ears open for Spotify. It appears that the music lover’s dream application may not be far away.

There are no restrictions in terms of what you can listen to or when. Forget about the hassle of waiting for files to download and fill up your hard drive before you get round to organising them. Spotify is instant, fun and simple.
