Rockpile 2015

Bill’s Rockpile  2015   2008

Greetings!
This project started as a whim but has been fun to catalog my favorite tracks for the past several years. This is the 10th year of doing so. Hopefully in another 10 years there will be a better (and legal) way to get the tracks beamed to your favorite listening device, but in the meantime please consume as works best. This compilation jelled late but I am really happy the way it travels from beginning to end. There is even a track from an album that briefly made #1 on Amazon (Jason Isbell) this year!
As in the past few years, these are available to stream on the widget below. The site url is https://www.mixcloud.com/underclaw/bills-rockpile-2015/. And I am sending out a few CD copies as well. Happy to send you one if you just drop me a note at wjcurran@gmail.com with your email address. Don't be shy. Thanks for listening!

Cheers,

Bill
