The Usual Disclaimer
I like cover songs, and I think everyone should. As such, I am providing these songs for sampling purposes, for a short time, and in order to encourage people to buy music, directly from the artist wherever possible.
Your Host With The Most
Passing The Hat
Cover Lay Down is proudly ad-free, but music hosting costs a little. Every coin in the busker's hat goes to bandwidth expenses. Thanks for your support!
Coverfolk Wanted
Have you (or an artist you represent) recently included a cover or traditional song on your newest recording? To submit your album for consideration, send CDs and contact information to:
Cover Lay Down
30 Old Wales Rd.
Monson, MA 01057
