Trampled by Turtles

Not long ago, those of us at CMT Edge were making a list (and checking it twice) with many of our favorite tracks from 2012. And so, to celebrate our very first Christmas, we teamed with RED Distribution to compile a free digital sampler for CMT Edge readers.

The 16-track playlist is available for a limited time only. Browse the songs below, then hop over to Amazon.com and discover these roots artists who make music on their own terms.
