Hi folks,
My new CD, Return, has been mixed and mastered and is
now available in its entirety for free download at
www.mp3.com/davidrovics.
Why, you may ask, does Ever Reviled Records and myself
want to make this new CD available for free download
after we just spent several thousand dollars in the
studio recording it? Don't we want to sell CDs,
recoup expenses, and eat? Yes. But we believe that
the most important thing is to get the music out
there. If it is to have an impact, it must be heard.
If it is to be heard, the Clear Channel blockade must
be broken. This will probably only happen if people
like you take the time and energy to spread the word.
The CD will be out in physical form by early
September. Pre-ordering the CD is much appreciated.
To be the first in your neighborhood to get a copy of
the CD, send a check for $17 (plus $10 for each
additional copy) to me at PO Box 995, Jamaica Plain,
MA 02130. For wholesale orders and other such
information, go to www.davidrovics.com and click on
"buy stuff."
The theme of much of the CD is the Palestinian
struggle and the right of return of Palestinian
refugees. Many of the 14 tracks on the CD directly
relate to this, others less directly. It was recorded
Wooly Mammoth Studios in Boston, Massachusetts at the
end of June, under the expertise of producer and
recording artist, Sean Staples, with a bunch of great
musicians. The whole project was made possible by
Ever Reviled Records -- www.everreviledrecords.com.
If you have ideas for how to promote this release, or
you know radio programmers who would like to have a
copy, or to order copies, please be encouraged to
email them at info@everreviledrecords.com.
I'll be doing two big tours to promote this release.
In the fall I'll be doing a tour of the eastern US and
Canada, and in the winter I'll be doing a tour of the
western US and Canada (I'll also be touring a bit in
Europe later in the fall). To see where I'll be
playing in your area go to www.davidrovics.com and
click on "gigs." If you might want to organize an
event yourself, feel free to go to my website and
click on "booking" for more thoughts on that, and to
contact me by any of the methods provided below.
On my website you'll also find lyrics to everything,
liner notes to the CDs, more audio and video you can
download, links to other artists, and lots of other
stuff. Also, thanks to Rupert and DC Indymedia, the
digital version of my songbook is now up on my
website, so you can download and print out the lyrics,
chords and sheet music to everything in it (for free).
Go to my website and click on "lyrics and sheet
music" to find it.
Hope to see you on the road and in the streets!
--David
