Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Days of New

Often referred to as the “yellow” or “orange” album because of the cover and liner notes, Days of New's debut was almost an instant success.

Band like Alice in Chains and Metallica were calling the label to book them as an opener for their world tours. You can get this album today for only $5.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Blues Traveler

When you think of musicians from New Jersey, one artist clearly pops into mind over all the rest. Yep, you know him, The Boss–Bruce Springsteen. If you’re a big fan of his, my apologies, but he is not the artist I’m listening to today.
