Gents, I just 'discovered' this service a few days ago. Evidently Amazon announced it as part of Amazon Prime subscription service about a year ago. Likely I just missed the notification or ignored it altogether. And reviews at first were spotty. Limited tracks and artists.
So Thursday whilst I was sick at home I was thinking of some background music to rest by. None of my Pandora channels appealed at the moment so I was clicking down the menu option on the Fire Tv and happened to rest on the 'Music' icon. Well I knew Amazon had one nice service I was aware of. If you buy a CD they will add a digital copy to your music options in said menu. It is kind of nice. Well right below the two CDs I had bought there was an icon promoting Prime Music. After a bit of reading I hied me away to Amazon.com and started looking for artists to add. There is now a fairly decent selection of artists and tracks. Some obvious big names were missing like Led Zeppelin but by the time I was looking they had added U2 which was not available at opening according to reviews. I also selected a good number of Junior Brown albums and found the latest Dwight Yoakum CD, Second Hand Heart. A very good effort on his part. Some Bob Dylan sounds and a bit of U2 I thought in a few of the tracks. But it is certainly Dwight. Another nice touch is that many of the songs come with scrolling lyrics as well. This is a service well worth looking at if you are a Prime member already. You cannot beat free!
