CD Baby - Independent Music

CD Baby is a little online record store that sells albums by independent musicians.

[In•de•pen•dent: (adj.) Not having sold one's life, career, and creative works over to a corporation.]

We're just a bunch of people in a cool Portland, Oregon, warehouse that looks like a playground. We listen to every album we sell before we sell it, so we can help you find other albums you'll like.

We only sell music that comes directly from the musicians. No distributors. Musicians send us their music. We digitize and warehouse, sell them to you, and pay the musicians directly.

Diana Jones

Diana JonesFrom: My Remembrance of You Album
Diana's songs are informed by themes that have run through her life -love, loss and redemption. Adopted as an infant and raised in New York, Diana Jones left home at 15 in search of her roots. When reunited with her birth family and the music of the Eastern Tennessee hills she discovered why that music had always moved her.


Kate Long

BigolladyFrom: Bigollady Album
Kate creates insightful glimpses of ordinary people dealing with life’s dilemmas. She wants her songs to do four things: help listeners see the extraordinary in the ordinary, make them laugh, make them cry, stir them spiritually. A West Virginia native, she has developed a musical following all over the country, and her songs have been recorded on four continents.



Bob Franke

Bob Franke at CD BabyFrom: The Other Evening In Chicago
New England singer-songwriter, forthright, deeply spiritual, also digs into Robert Johnson blues and some weird humor. "It's his integrity. I always think of Bob as if Emerson and Thoreau had picked up acoustic guitars and gotten into songwriting. There's touches of Mark Twain and Buddy Holly in there, too." -Tom Paxton
