Hey Artists, check out our new free SoulTracks Independent CD Store Directory
One of the most frequent questions we receive from artists and record companies is "where can I sell my CDs"? This is especially true for new independent artists who are trying to sell CDs outside of their home city.

So we decided to put together a listing of the independent CD retailers around the US and Europe who specialize in carrying soul music CDs of both major label and independent artists.

Independent music retailers have been the backbone of the music business for decades and are still doing a great job. And we think helping connect artists, retailers and our readers is simply a good idea.

So click on the link below to visit our Store Directory. We've added addresses and phone numbers to make it easier to connect with them. We hope that this directory is a help. And let us know if we've missed any of your favorites!

Here is a brief snippet from a review of his CD.

Tomas Doncker is an artist who wears his proverbial heart on hissleeve. His songs are as joyous as they are thoughtful, as honest as they are sentimental. Doncker's influences are obvious, but notoverbearing. The album opener, the rolling "Faith and Trust" with it'shandclaps and breezy organ, recalls late '60s soul music. "Learn toCry" is blessed with elegant sax lines and Doncker's introspectivelyricism, his cover of Yusef Islam's (Cat Stevens) "Peace Train" is asresonate as the original. All in all, Doncker injects each recordingwith sincerity and depth. A wonderful listen. –dusty culpepper REVIEW FROM www.ROLLINGOUT.COM
