Grab this one, folks. This sampler is going to cost me some money because some of the artists are now necessary summer listening for me. I checked out all the bands and, by way of gratitude to Side One Dummy and Amazon, I'll pass it on:
1. "Requiem For A Dying Song" by Flogging Molly, the great Celtic punk rock band. This is from their "Live At The Greek Theatre" album released March 2010. A rollicking start for this great sampler.
2. "The Spirit Of Jazz" by folk-punk rockers The Gaslight Anthem from American Slang released June 2010. This month's Uncut Magazine gave this album 5 stars and declared it their album of the month. Big Cheese also gave it 5 stars.
3. "Lightning In A Bottle" by Audra Mae from her debut album "The Happiest Lamb" released May 2010. This folk rocker is the great-niece of Judy Garland and has definitely inherited the family's amazing chops. This album will be my first purchase from this sampler.
4. "Clap Your Hands" by The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band", a rural blues band that calls Indiana home. This song is from "The Wages" released May 25, 2010 and immediately charting at #2 on Billboard's Blues Chart.
5. "Love It To Life" by Jesse Malin And The St. Mark's Social Disco Ghetto from "Love It To Life", their April 2010 Side One Dummy debut. Jesse Malin is a veteran punk rocker whose former bands were Heart Attack and D Generation. Seems he collaborates with Ryan Adams and has been compared to Bruce Springsteen.
6. "The Trench" by the exceptional indie rocker Chuck Ragan. This is from 2009's "Gold Country". Amazon has already gifted us with "Rotterdam" from that album. I love both songs and will purchase the album.
7. "Salt And Sand" from "White Rabbit", an independent project of Flogging Molly bassist Nathen Maxwell and The Original Bunny Gang. This folk rock song is melodic and beautiful.
8. "Heart BPM" by folk-punk rockers Fake Problems from "It's Great To Be Alive".
9. "The System" by The Black Pacific with vocalist/guitarist Jim Lindberg from the band's self-titled album to be released in September.
10. "We Are The One" by Anti-Flag from the punk-rock album "The People Or The Gun".
11. "We Are All We Have" by hardcore street punk-rockers The Casualties.
12. "Basement Royalty" by Broadway Calls on their punk-rock album "Good Views, Bad News".
13. "Describing The Sky" by Big D And The Kids Table, from this third wave ska band's "Fluent In Stroll" which is said to refer to the band's musical direction to ska, reggae, and soul.
Enjoy!

Every once in a while, a record label comes along that transcends the sum of its parts. Curated by people with such passion for finding and promoting good music, you can make a safe bet on buying an album from a band for no other reason than they're on the label. The 2010 Side One Dummy sampler takes a proud place on my (virtual) mantle, alongside the all time greats: Sire's "Just Say..." series; Yep Rock's and Fat Wreck Chords' annual samplers and Hellcat's "Give Em' The Boot" series. A good sampler plays like a solid, cohesive album - but then whets your appetite for more. I highly suggest you pick this one up and discover some truly amazing artists - the styles are varied but the passion each artist puts into every delicious note remains the same.

As the first review is fabulously detailed and 'spot on', this is primarily going to be a 'me, too' redundancy echoing the sentiments, but I'll try to give you a goosing in exchange for the read.
READ ME: This is a primo sampler and you'd be a right sot and wanker not to download it.
Then again, when you come into possession of the increasing rare commodity known as money, you'll find youself spending more money than you ever ought to seeking out the individual artists...Audra Mae. Jesu H Cristhe, where the hell has she been all my life? Verily, she lifteth my heart in her hands.
Well OK, so I'm living between a town that functions as a high desert ufo landing pad and Las Vegas. Ergo, the radio stations range from Oldies You Wished You'd Never Heard Before to What Passes for Authentic African American Angst in Las Vegas, Eightyish top-40 (I forgive you, Ted Nugent, strictly on the basis of 'Wango Tango' which is a non-stop laugh riot flashback to my years in the Midwest) and some excellent Mexican/tex-mex tunes and oh yes, a station which occasionally flashes Donna Summers past me and I'm transported to the dancefloor of "Friends" in Seattle on a Thursday night dancing entirely inappropriately considering our personal gender-preference. But I digress...
The SideOneDummy gives you just enough of a taste that, if you're anywhere as discerning a listener as I am (picky, too), you're either dead, take yourself too seriously or are permanently embedded in the middle of the road if you don't find yourself getting instantly hooked by at least half of what you hear. Kudos to the compiler of this sampler. You've done these bands proud. Major bowing and scraping Thank Yous to Amazon for making this sampler available for the absolutely reasonable cost of zip. Then again, Amazon's mama didn't raise no fools... you know you'll see a return of at least three sales per download of paid albums based on these generous and high-potency free samples. And then one must consider the cost of SideTwoWunderkind... unless this is also floating around free and is as wicked good as Side 1 has been for me.
If you download this, listen and aren't thoroughly enchanted by what you've heard, email me and I'll tell you which way Jeff Bezos doesn't drive to work and what kind of car he never drives. ; )
