Pinecastle springs CDs for early release
We posted about ten days ago with release dates for four new projects due from Pinecastle Records in 2009.
Not long after that, we heard from a reader who wondered why a title we had just indicated wouldn’t be released until next year was showing up as available now online elsewhere. We checked with Pinecastle, and Ethan Burkhardt told us that they decided to do a limited early release of the four upcoming titles.
“Because of how our release schedule lined up, we couldn’t get these albums ‘officially’ released by Christmas. We are however going to have them available to The Music Shed and County Sales for the Christmas season.”
You can find audio samples, more details and online ordering for these Pinecastle projects online.

- Lord Bless This House – Nothin’ Fancy (1/27/09)
- The Hangman – Ernie Thacker & Route 23 (2/10/09)
- Three Silver Dollars – David Parmley & Continental Divide (2/10/09)
