"Scott Andrew and the Walkingbirds are apparently some kind of lo-fi, DIY urban acoustic pop and weirdo country thing. " – CDBaby.com
This month’s musical contribution came out of some research I was doing on independant music artists. I came across the Creative Commons web site which led me to Scott Andrew and the Walkingbirds.
All of these songs a liscenced under one of the Creative Commons Liscences and are available for download and personal use.
Since I am not much of a reviewer or objective critic I’d reccomend reading the CD Baby Synopsis of Scott Andrew’s music. I will stick to listing the songs and hopefully tickling your fancy.

- Gravel Road Requiem: Reading the lyrics for this one reminds me of the trips I make back to rural Iowa occasionally. Lots of little roads that the locals have their own names for. Its both lonely and comforting at the same time. The song seems to capture that sentiment.
- Nothing New: Recorded with Shannon Campbell under the name Pet Rock Stars this song sticks to the folk/pop/country mix and features some nice vocal collaboration between Scott and Shannon.
- One Sure Thing: A good mix of music and lyric. The subject matter is as old as music but the song manages to move you along through the struggles of a man trying to make a solid relationship.
