Includes high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Paying supporters also get unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app.
You will notice that the price is currently set to “Name Your Price.” It means what it says and even includes paying nothing (yep, the song is completely free. Costs you $0). And you can download the new music in any version you would like – mp3, wav, ogg, etc . Hell you can even send a copy to your friends if you feel like it and I will not call the internet police or the RIAA or anything like that.
“Your contribution not only helps me offset the cost of providing this music for free but it also tells me that you think what I am doing is worth the effort and that you want me to continue creating more music and moments for you.”
If you are one of those who knows that there is nothing quite like holding a brand new CD in the palm of your hands, look no further.
Order a physical copy of "FM" now and I'll throw in an immediate download of the 7 track album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.
That way, you have something to listen to while you are waiting for the mailman to drop of your CD.

"To waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right hand down to them amplified and developed." - Theodore Roosevelt, Dec 3, 1907 (in a message to Congress)
lyrics
I went walkin by the river by the sky high piles of sand
I ask the hard hat wearin man about his dream his master plan
Those aren't just piles of sand, he said, there big piles of gold
They're gonna feed some mouths, move idle hands, move us up the totem pole
They'll even grease some palms if you wanna play some ball...
In the big leagues with the big boys smokin fat cigars
Just loosen your belt son
Mmmmm... got the Frac Sand Blues
Three states to the East further down the rabbit hole
The waters on fire, the cost is higher while mother earths stands alone
They stick her with a needle they sodomize her soil
Pollute the blood of your unborn child in the name of a dollar bill
But hey at least you got a job and a fist to fight the war...
With those Persians and the terror and your empty tanks
Are you scared yet?
Mmmmm... got the Frac Sand Blues
Mmmmm... got the Frac Sand Blues
I went to raise my hand a couple questions on my mind
They sent trade secrets, jigsaw puzzles, more wool for my eyes
I followed all the green and the puppets tagged for sale
Its all about money its only sunny on the their side of capitol hill
I can see our children with an empty glass and empty tears...
Maybe you would too if you took those dollar signs out of your eyes
Mmmmm... got the Frac Sand Blues
Mmmmm... got the Frac Sand Blues

Some artists just have "it". Great songwriting. Cozy acoustic tunes would fit perfectly in a playlist with early Dylan, Mumford or Chris Knight ala Trailer Tapes. Corey Koehler
