Album of the Week: Various Artists | Cardinals At The Window

“100% of proceeds split evenly between Community Foundation of Western North Carolina, Rural Organizing and Resilience (ROAR), and BeLoved Ashevill.”

136 previously unreleased tracks from nearly as many artists. Something for everyone with 100% of proceeds going to help people in need in Ashevill, NC. Over 6 hours of music for $10. The S.G. Goodman with Bonnie “Prince” Billy track “Nature’s Chil” is more than worth the price of admission on its own.

Just do it.

Cardinals At The Window is available as a download in ultra-empathetic PCM and DSD (I made that bit up) from Bandcamp.
