Two things I love? Free music and singer/songwriters (talented ones!) So it totally makes sense that I’d be psyched about Summertime, a new 25-song (free) sampler from singer/songwriter Josh Rouse. I discovered Josh a year or so through my friends Robert Cass and Scott Poulson-Bryant, purchased two of his albums within a week or so of hearing him for the first time, and fell in love pretty much immediately.

Now, you have the chance to fall in love too! Head over to Josh’s page on Noisetrade, and download a 25-song sampler, encompassing his whole career.  Technically, it’s free, but Noisetrade encourages donations, so why not drop a little bit of dough in the till for some good music? There are songs from his previous albums, tracks that have gone unreleased, and a song from his upcoming project, Josh Rouse & the Long Vacations, an album that’s due out at the end of September.
