If you enter “Ana” in Google the first hit you’ll get is Ana Popovic (an up an coming blues musician currently on tour). I’m not sure why I find that so amazing. A blues musician being the first hit on google! Anyway I’ve tweeted out a couple of times, Ana Popovic’s new album is coming, Ana Popovic’s new album now available, check out Ana Popovic’s Myspace page and the response I get is: “Thanks I had not heard of Ana Popovic”. I knew some of Ana’s stuff from being friends on myspace but I have to admit this new album of Ana’s is what it took for me to really take notice of this up and coming blues star. Here are some samples from her new album Blind For Love
Pretty hot stuff – especially that song that opens up on Ana Popovic’s website – Nothing Personal. Ana may seem like an overnight success to us but in fact she’s been touring for 14 years now. I’m sure we’ve all heard of the star interviewed when accused of being an overnight success they always respond “overnight success took X years” X usually being 10 to 30 years. I’m sure what appears to be overnight success is well deserved. Here is a awesome clip from 2005 that shows Ana’s excellent guitar skills.
Another thing about Ana Popovic which pleased me is that her music is available from eMusic. Since I’m a subscriber emusic only tells me I can download Ana’s new album and I did. I can’t tell me if it can be had as one of the 25 free tunes you get for signing up for a free trial but hey – it’s free for you to find out so why not sign up, get 25 free MP3s and let me know if you were able to get Ana’s Cd for free. I got it as part of my monthly allotment with eMusic
. Click this link for more about my Emusic experience which I’m throughly enjoying.
Anyway, Ana as you probably guessed from the previews is a diverse artist performing blues, rock and funk. Ana Popovic and her band are touring in North America and Europe in August so check out their myspace page for the latest dates and some more fine tunes.
Lastly let me leave you with these two options from Amazon.com. The first link will take you to Ana’s CD page on Amazon and the second one will take you to the page where you can buy the MP3s from Amazon.
In case you’re wondering, yes I’m recommending you pick up Ana’s new CD or at least your favorite MP3 for you collection.
