As you may already be aware, from my DIY Guide, I don't think highly of Chris Anderson (or CD Baby), so I decided to offer some feedback on the CD Baby Podcast message line. What you'll hear in this episode of The Solo Album Podcast are clips from Mr. Anderson's interview, my phone call to CD Baby, and the responses from the CD Baby hosts themselves. Stay tuned until the end to hear some of my additional commentary. http://www.thesoloalbum.com/podcast/24_cd_baby_chris_anderson.mp3 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 12:00:00 GMT 52:27 album, independent, recording, artist, musician, brian, dobbs, cd, baby, chris, anderson Brian Dobbs Interview With Shane Lankford of Orphan Project This episode is an interview I conducted with Shane Lankford, lead singer of Orphan Project.
