Denison Witmer – FREE Cover Songs leading up the release of Carry The Weight
Over the past several weeks, Denison has created a little project for himself by releasing cover recordings of some of his favorite songs. The songs are recorded at home by Denison, posted on his MySpace page, and available FREE download. Denison did not post a song last week because Myspace has changed their audio playback format. For a lot of us, that meant (and still means) no downloading unless we have the most recent software needed to download.
We are now happy to announce that Cover Lay Down came in and saved the day by offering to host all of the songs Denison releases as a part of this project (both those he will release in the coming weeks as well as those previously released only on MySpace). So, if you have missed one of Denison’s songs, fret not. You can head on over to Cover Lay Down and download it now. Be sure to thank them! While you are there, you can also read this incredibly nice review they posted about Denison a few weeks back.
