Part of the new paradigm in music is the independent release of albums, or "mixtapes", through sites like DJBooth, where the jams can be streamed or downloaded freely. This allows beginning or emerging artists to get their music out to a large number of people to both see how listeners react (through ratings and comments) and to establish a baseline following upon which to build. It's also a place for DJ's and radio programmers to go and find the latest beats for their audiences. Those who wish to support the artists may do so through donations or by purchasing higher quality files. It's a really cool concept, all in all.
When it comes to Christmas, Gerald seems to have a fondness for the Peanuts characters and the music of Vince Guaraldi. You can hear that influence even in Walker's original Christmas music which, it should be said, is truly excellent. Even if you're not a big fan of Rap music and Hip Hop, you should at least stream some of Gerald's Christmas music at DJBooth, because it's very melodic and soulful with just a touch of that Vince Guaraldi jazz to it.
You can download "It's Christmastime Again, Gerald Walker" for free or you can get the Premium download for $4.99. The premium download also includes Gerald's 2010 Christmas EP "A Gerald Walker Christmas" which, oh by the way, you can download freely (albeit at a lower bit rate) at Gerald's Facebook page.
