Billie The Vision and The Dancers - I Used To Wander These Streets
In any fair and just world Billie The Vision and The Dancers would be sitting pretty with a nice contract and adoring fans. Or maybe the Swedish band likes giving their albums away. In any case, this is the fourth free and legal online album from one of my favorite artists featured on Free Albums Galore
I Used to Wander These Streets is another excellent album of soft folk-rock tracks. It actually may be a little more mellow and wistful than their other efforts…if that is even possible. Lars Lindquist carries songwriting duties and vocals admirably on both upbeat treats like “Lily Fro m The Middleway Street” and melancholy ballads like “Relay Race”. One interesting surprise is the pretty “Liar and a Thief” that manages to throw in a nice turnabout on a Guns and Roses line. If you already checked out the other albums by this band you will want this one. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for?
The album is available in 128kbps MP3. If you enjoy the music, support the artists by going to the store and buying the better sound quality CDs or maybe a t-shirt or two.
Thanks Marvin - always great to hear from Billie the Vision. The new one is a fine listen - and I feel the need to point out that it is available on iTunes and eMusic.com (UK, anyway) - the latter where I got my copy.

I have no idea what the poor guy’s trying to run away from in “Swedish Sin” - but I really don’t care, as long as he does us all a favor and keeps on singing about it!

Maybe it’s just my computer acting up but I’ve tried downloading I Used to Wander numerous times and each time the songs stop short of the end. Is anyone else having this problem?
