The Best Music Deal of the Year
I don’t know the whole story behind this deal, but it appears that the entire Vern Gosdin boxed set, 40 Years of The Voice, due for release next month is already available for download from the major online music stores. Amazon MP3, iTunes, and eMusic all show it as having been available since the end of August.
That’s good news, but what’s even more astonishing is that the set is less than $10 from both Amazon and iTunes. Amazon has the cheapest price at $8.99, but even at iTunes’ steeper $9.99 price tag, you’re paying less than a dime per song. There are 101 songs in the set, and they’re good songs sung by one of country music’s best voices. Even if you’ve never heard a Vern Gosdin song, what do you possibly have to lose at this price?
Plus, according to an earlier press release, proceeds from this boxed set (presumably including download sales?) will go toward a new storm relief project called Voice for Relief. The details of the boxed set, the storm relief project, and Gosdin’s involvement in each are still a bit hazy to me, but the bottom line for you is criminally inexpensive music. And probably throwing a little support behind a good cause along the way.
This could be the wisest purchasing decision you ever make.
Downloading as we speak, and I feel giddy.
I couldn’t believe what an awesome deal this is! I downloaded it right away as well. I did delete the “America” song though–I can’t remember the name anymore. Awesome find!
Yeah, Leeann… they probably could have done with 100 songs. At least the song in question just comes across as senile and confused rather than actually dangerous (no talk of burning up anyone wrapped in a flag).
Hope you two enjoy the music. I still need to make time to listen straight through; just been clicking around to different titles so far.
If anyone else picks this up, drop a comment here to let me know. I’m a shameless Gosdin fanboy and it does my heart good to know that more people are listening to him.
Yeah, it definitely wasn’t dangerous in any way, just too rambling for me. I’ve just been clicking around too, to the songs I haven’t heard before.

I bought it right away, I’ve never been a big fan of him but I figured 10$ for 100 songs why not? That and his my grandmothers favorite so I do hope to get into him a little more.
Oh by the way that last one is Jordan Stacey, it’s not letting me use my wordpress name to comment. In fact it’s not letting me use anything other than anonymous
Sorry for your commenting troubles, Jordan. This system can be a pain.
Enjoy the music.
