Who will carry this CD in the USA. I went online to order it from the artist and by the time I added the shipping, the price was pretty high, as our currency exchange against the UK Pound is not favorable. I am sure this is a great CD and I am anxious to have it. Looked for it on iTunes and Amazon and did not see it.

It's available as an MP3 download for $13 and change. That's still a bit high compared to current Amazon and iTunes pricing for MP3 albums (around $9), but it avoids the shipping cost:

I tried to contact Simon thru his contact form but it gave me an error msg. I sent him a msg via his Facebook page.

I just heard from Simon. I think we were all jumping the gun (myself included)...

The CD is actually not officially released until later this month, which is why it's not in any of the obvious places yet. I'm assuming you saw it on Mandolin Cafe? Scott Tichenor had an advance copy and put the notice up on the site.

It will be appearing on iTunes very soon - probably tomorrow or Wednesday. Our distributors in the UK put it on Amazon, which could be nearer the end of January.

Thanks so much to all of you. I will wait patiently. He is one of my favorite artists. I think I have most of his works.

I also heard from Simon that it should be on iTunes very soon (maybe even today) and that he also has an arrangement with the distribution arm of Elderly so it should be in stores when it is officially released.
