My lap steel CD is now available! Also on CD Baby and iTunes

Fred Kinbom · Post by **Fred Kinbom** » 28 Aug 2009 2:26 am

Dear all,

I am very pleased to announce that my album "Hedgehogs & Elephants" now is available!

It contains twelve tunes, eleven of which are lap steel based, many spiced up by great guest musicians on percussion, double bass, accordion, fiddle, steel drum and more. Recorded deep down underground in the heart of Stockholm, in a Moroccan-style hut in a Lewes garden, on the edge of my bed, out in the lush Sussex countryside and onboard a German train; mixed in summery suburban Stockholm and mastered deep inside the forest up in the hills of Santa Cruz, California - now it's all condensed into a little shiny disc, resting in a nice digipack sleeve, anxious for you to have a listen!

You can get the CD directly from my website here:

http://www.fredkinbom.com/products.html

Audio samples are available here and if you haven't seen the video trailer, click here.

Orders placed through my website will be shipped with a free bonus CD (an album I released in 2002, before my lap sliding days - offer valid while stock lasts)!

I really hope those of you who buy the album will enjoy it!

"Hedgehogs & Elephants" is a completely independent release, and I rely on word-of-mouth to sell CDs, so if you know someone you think may be interested, please feel free to forward this link to them and/or post it on other music forums you may frequent. Your support is very much appreciated!

Thanks for your time, and special thanks to all of you here on the Steel Guitar Forum who have been supportive of my music the last few years! Your encouragement means a lot!

All the best,

Fred

I'll have to get some money transfered to my paypal account and get one ordered

Thanks Tom!

Next batch will ship tomorrow (today is a public holiday here). CDs are already headed for many corners of the Earth - USA (including Hawaii), UK, Canada, Germany, Austria, Norway, France, Sweden and Australia so far.

Thanks!

Just a self-promotional BUMP.

I have now stocked up on stamps to most parts of the world so I can post all orders the same day as they are placed (and avoid queuing at the post office

).

Thanks a lot for the orders so far and for the feedback e-mails!

Cheers,

Fred

Now also on CD Baby:

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/fredkinbom1

Might be slightly cheaper for those of you in the USA (not sure exactly what CD Baby charges for shipping) and there is a digital download option too (of course without the beautiful digipack sleeve

).

On CD Baby one can post reviews, so if any of you who have bought the album would like to write a review or comment there it would be very much appreciated!

Orders directly from my website still come with a free bonus CD but not for much longer, so get your orders in soon if you want the bonus disc for free.

Thanks a lot for all the orders and great feedback so far!

All the best,

Fred

And on iTunes:

"Hedgehogs & Elephants" on iTunes

Of course no nice digipack sleeve here, as it is a digital download, but a convenient and environmentally friendly way of buying the album.

And, as on CD Baby, iTunes has a rate and review thing for listeners!

Many thanks,

Fred

For those who may be thinking of buying my album, I will include the free bonus CD with orders placed before next week (from then on, the "Frozen Jungle Entertainment" CD will be available through my website separately for only £5.50, but for now it's still free with "Hedgehogs & Elephants"!

).

Thanks for the interest!

Self-promotional BUMP!

Thanks to you folks who have ordered the CD so far! (Tom P. - there has been a postal strike here recently, and although I posted it before the strike, it may have been delayed a bit, but I hope you will receive the CD soon if it hasn't already arrived in California.)

If anyone wants to buy the CD as a Christmas gift, please e-mail me for a shipping discount if you want to buy more than one copy.

Thank you!
