Independent record label Drag City lists over 200 Artists on their roster from the ever prolific Bonnie "Prince" Billy to the far out ramblings of Father Yod and the Source Family with Joanna Newsom sitting comfortably in between. While not every release is offered with a FLAC download, the majority are and you save $1.01 + shipping over the price of a CD! Drag City also offers free music but it’s MP3 snack food so doesn’t merit a separate listing in our Free Music section (but feel free to sample for free).

A Few Recommended Recordings From Drag City

Bonnie "Prince" Billy
The Letting Go

Originally released in 1996, The Letting Go is a slow, sad affair. Dawn McCarthy joins Billy on vocals for some super-sweet refined country-tinged folky flavors. A great sounding record to boot.

Sir Richard Bishop
The Freak of Araby

Sun City Girl Sir Richard Bishop can play at anything. Here he picks up the Middle Eastern thread of one of his guitar heros, Omar Khorshid, and along with the Freak of Araby Ensemble (Rasheed Al-Qahira guitar, Mohammed Bandari percussion, Ahmed Sharif bass, and Abdulla Basheem on hand drums) churns out some traditional and original numbers hotter than the desert city sun.

Ty Segall
Goodbye Bread

Ty Segall plays every instrument on this love song to the singer songwriter. Classic.
