The Weekly Downloads: Nov. 3 ~ Nov. 9

Anther week, another batch of downloads – some really good ones too! 

Without a doubt, the biggest free download this week is from Steven Curtis Chapman.  You can download his latest single, “Heaven Is the Face”, from Tangle.com.  It’s an amazing, beautiful song, enough said.  Don’t miss it.

Though it can’t top “Heaven Is The Face”, iTickets does have two good song available for free this week, Paul Baloche’s song “Glorious” and Kelly Clinger’s song “What You See In Me”.

Next up, if you like your music a little louder, VideoRocket has the debut music video for new Tooth & Nail band The Letter Black.  It’s for the song “Hanging By A Thread”, and it’s pretty cool.  Check it out!

It’s hard to believe Christmas is coming up so fast, but it is, and Gospel Music Channel has the Christmas music to prove it – specifically, Ayiesha Woods’ version of “Jingle Bells”.  As it turns out, Ayiesha actually has whole Christmas album coming out, called Christmas Like This, a play off her last album’s title, Love Like This.

Here’s something new:  FreeCCM.com has totally updated their website!  It’s now a blog-type format, with new downloads every week.  They’ve got three weeks worth of downloads up right now, with songs from Todd Agnew, Fee, and The Afters – some pretty cool stuff.  You do need to sign up for the website again, even if you were signed up previously.

Last, but definitely not least this week, New Release Tuesday has a new song by Plumb.  It’s called “Hold On”, and it’s one of the new tracks from Plumb’s latest greatest hits collection, entitled Beautiful History.  I’m pretty excited about Beautiful History myself, primarily because it has two disks, the second of which is full of remixes.  Very cool stuff indeed!

Unexpected Sources of Free Music – Part 1

I know this isn’t totally free, but when a friend emailed me about this, I knew I had to feature it…

ChristianBook.com is got Absolute Smash Hits Volumes 1 & 2, a four disc CD se

t (think a WOW Hits clone), on sale for $5.99.  That’s 50 songs for 6 bucks.  50 songs!  That’s 8.3472454090150250417362270450751* cents per song.  That’s approximately 91 cents cheaper per song then iTunes.  Not bad at all, for a collection of some of Christian music’s greatest hits.  In fact, it’s a steal.  Not as good as free, but almost.

Of course there has to be a downside.  In this case it’s the selection.  It’s almost all somewhat under-the-radar artists CCM artists.  The loudest it get’s in 12 Stones and Skillet.  But, that maybe perfect for you, in which case that would be a plus and not a minus.  So, anyway, it’s worth checking out.
