Episode 194: A Change Will Do You Good

This week's theme from Sheryl Crow! It's a very popular word in the media these days and it seems that everyone is pulling for one thing: CHANGE - BIG change. And there's no exception here. The Indie music on Fame Games is closer to the ground than any other music out there, providing the soundtrack to a world in dire need of the TRUTH. In Indies Inside Information, three ways Fame Games connects you to musicians, radio stations and music lovers who "feel the fear, but do it anyway."

PLUS! CD-Baby's Top-10 Albums from the Flava: Albums: For your pet Crow!! Special Dedication goes to: Lynn Carey Saylor and Eric Lumiere; and Fame Games Regular rotational airplay went to our most recent Track of the Month Winner - "Now That We're Fallin'" by Will Champlin!


This week, the first week of Season 2, we start with 5 fresh new acts!
