Listen to Wrecking Ball

Posted on June 5, 2007    Posted by John Scalzi

New music site Lala.com has reached some sort of licensing deal with Warner Music where it streams music and pays Warner a penny every time a song is played (you can also apparently also buy the music to download straight to your iPod).

What this agreement means is that I can point you to one of my favorite albums of all time, Emmylou Harris’ Wrecking Ball, and you can listen to it and bow down to the unspeakable awesomeness that is Emmylou. Start with album opener “Where Will I Be,” which is just monumentally great, and just let it play all the way through. If you’re not ready to buy it by the time “Waltz Across Texas Tonight” is done, well, I don’t want to say I’ll respect you less, but, yeah. I probably will.

Seriously: Great album. Listen and enjoy.
