The MP3 format for music is causing a revolution in the music industry, allowing audiences easy and inexpensive access to both their favourite music and up and coming artists. This is the start of a movement which will change the music industry significantly with both the audience and the artists benefitting from the new medium.
CoCam is supporting this new medium for music distribution providing access to new and diverse music. MP3 format files can be downloaded individually or bought on a CD known as a DAM CD.
DAM (Digital Automatic Music) CDs are compact discs containing music in both MP3 and standard CD audio format--listen to them from your MP3 playlist on your computer or through your stereo CD player. Also, they frequently include special releases and live music not available for free download or in music stores! Best of all, DAM CDs are priced by the artist for as low as $5.99!
CoCam has recommended a selection of music which you may like to buy. These are reviewed below. Simply click on the image of the artist to be taken to the full DAM CD description and ordering page on the MP3.com web site.
In addition to the recommendations, the MP3 music search facility allows you to find, review, listen to tracks and buy almost any DAM, CD at very low prices.

"This is a bit of a gem. There are blues and there are blues. This is the Rolls Royce full on version. You only have to hear the first track to know that you're in for a treat. This one is in my own collection and is being constantly played. If you want to give your ears, heart and soul a treat, let Big Bill and his band take you on a musical trip. We know that road and this is the way to travel ..... Highly recommend to all." Clive Warren 1999 |

"Eclectic Pop music with flavor. Along the lines of Jewel, Shawn Colvin, Lisa Loeb but with its own signature style. Music with meaning and mass appeal. Ginger is a singer/songwriter with a musical style which borders on Pop/Rock Joni Mitchell, Towns Van Zandt, Peter Gabriel, Lyle Lovett. A superb collection of ballads and a favourite. Ginger has a great voice and is a rising star." Clive Warren 1999 |

My hope is that people simply enjoy this music that is so special to me'. Music style: Bluegrass. Musical influences: Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs. Doyle's music is some of the best Bluegrass I have heard, and it is all his own. Makes me long for the wide open spaces of the US of A. If you only buy one Bluegrass CD in your life then make it this one....." Clive Warren 1999 |

Musical influences: Scottish Pipe Music, Kate Bush, madrigals, Peter Gabriel, Beethoven, Carol King, Faure, Bjork, a drunken Irishman singing his heart out, or a drunken Welshman for that matter, Mouth Music, Annie Lennox, the sound of the wind across the moors of Devon ... Well you get the drift - and that's exactly what you will be doing with this music - an Englishwoman in Los Angeles. What more could you want?" Clive Warren 1999 |
