Just wanted to thank Racer over at The Ripple Effect for reviewing my album “Never Too Late.”
I want to encourage you to go check out my review and then check out many of the other bands and artists he mentions. Lots of good stuff on there (as I write, this I am digging the Kenny Olson Cartel he recommend in another post).
Here’s a link to the review of ”Never Too Late.” Thank you Todd (aka Racer)!

Folk Rock Singer Songwriter Corey Koehler (aka me) has released an environmental song in his song-per-month campaign. The song is titled “Frac Sand Blues.”
The song is an attempt to raise awareness about the controversial practices of Frac Sand Mining and Natural Gas Fracking.
And please, don’t just take my word for it, make up your own mind. Click the links at the bottom of this post to learn more on Frac Sand Mining and Natural Gas Fracking.
Just so you know, the player is locked until you share the track on Facebook. Why? For a few reasons. First, it makes it easy for you to help me spread the word about my new music (thank you). Second, it makes you look like a hero to your friends by turning them on to some new music. A win, win for everyone!
Mobile and Non-Facebook Users click here.
You will notice that the price is currently set to “Pay What You Want.” It means what it says and even includes paying nothing (yep, the song is completely free. Costs you $0). And you can download the new music in any version you would like – mp3, wav, ogg, etc . Hell you can even send a copy to your friends if you feel like it and I will not call the internet police or the RIAA or anything like that.
Just so you know, If you pay anything at all between now and the first Monday in April (when I release more new music), I will put your name in the song credits under “Associate Producer” or whatever title you choose. This will forever link you to the song and proudly put you on display for everyone to see that you are supporting one very grateful musician. Your name will reside in the credits on Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, CdBaby, etc for now but when it comes time to release physical copy of the CD, it will be there too.
“Your contribution not only helps me offset the cost of providing this music for free but it also tells me that you think what I am doing is worth the effort and that you want me to continue creating more music and moments for you.”
A Big THANKS to last month contributors – Associate Producers: Nicole Gentry, Alvin Kinsey, Jim Scherley, Brian Meek, Teresa Jerome and self proclaimed Podcasting Bitch: Greg Davies.
What is Fracking? – Very informative page – both visually and textually – on what fracking is. Also, check out the documentary film.
Pros and Cons on 60 Minutes (Video) – Both sides of the issue are presented in this 60 Minutes story.
Frac Sand Mining (Videos) – These are some random videos highlighting Frac Sand mining and its impact on the communities where its being done.
How Much Gas Do We Have? – Very informative article from Kurt Cobb – a journalist who reports on issues surrounding energy and the environment. I was able to catch a presentation of his Winona State University a month or so ago. He presented some very interesting data about the amount of “recoverable” natural gas and its importance relative to relieving us of our dependance on foreign suppliers.
What do you think of the “Frac Sand Blues?” Leave a comment below I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Pssst… My “One Song A Month Indefinitely” plan is in full swing which means I will be releasing new music the first Monday of every month.
Enter your name and email below because then you will be one of the very first to hear my new music (Plus I’ll send you two free songs right now).

Back in 2002 Bonnie Cooper experienced the unthinkable, she lost her mother and brother within 7 months of each other (can you imagine? either can I).
While making arrangements for the funeral she looked everywhere for music that would provide a fitting memorial to lay her loved ones to rest. Unfortunately, she didn’t find anything.
Knowing first hand that there was a need for this type of resource she decided to build her own memorial music site.
Her site is called MemorialMusicLibrary.com . It is currently helping 300 people a day who visit her site looking for music for funerals and memorial site.
I found out about Bonnie after she reached out to me to ask if she could feature my song “Minnesota Got Colder” on the front page. To return the favor, I want to help spread the word about her story and her site.
Join me in helping Bonnie spread the word. Forward here site to anyone you know of who may be looking for this type of music: Funeral homes, churches, anyone needing some comfort, making arrangements for memorial, etc.
Also, Bonnie is always looking for more music for the site. If you have any ideas for songs that would be perfect for the library, either stop by the site and recommend them yourself or just put them in the comments below and I will be sure to pass them on.
Pssst…ARE YOU NEW HERE? Go grab 2 of my free song downloads here.

The people that no matter where you are or what you are doing, just the thought of them puts a smile on your face.
