You can listen to all four of my Political Rock albums in their entirety on the Twelvemonth Music channel on YouTube. On my musical artist website (dlstieg.com), the format in which these albums are presented, which is the same format used for the many other albums of original music that I have written and recorded, is based on a catalog listing not unlike the one given on the Home page of this website. The catalog listings on the dlstieg.com website also include, in the title bar for each album of original or public domain music, links for mp3 excerpts, lyrics, and a brief Introduction. The Introduction includes observations about the album’s creation as well as an analysis of the album’s contents. For convenience, the catalog listings for all four Political Rock albums have been reproduced below. You can click here to review definitions and brief descriptions of the various categories of information included in the catalog listings. Also included in the album title bars are links allowing for the purchase of all the charts or all the chord docs (including the charts and chord docs that are made available free of charge on the Home page of this website) for that album. The CH prefix refers to charts, and the cho prefix refers to chord docs. Please note that the price of only $3.00 for the complete charts or the complete chord docs for each album, even accounting for the free charts and chord docs, is less than 50 cents for each individual chart or chord doc.
