“Nice guys finish last" is probably what Slo-mo had in mind when he was deciding on screen names. Slo-mo, a steel guitar hero, is one of the most celebrated indie artists in Philadelphia. The distinct sound of Slo-mo is a combination of his steel guitar prowess and a mishmash of musical styles from hip-hop, pop, rhythm and blues, and techno.

Aside from being available via Amazon and iTunes, Novelty and My Buzz Comes Back are now available for free download all over the Internet. The newest addition to Slo-mo’s album collection is Smokey Mountain. A product of Slo-mo’s great partnership with rapper Mic Wrecka, Smokey Mountain features more mature lyrics and more distinct sounds. Like his previous albums, Smokey Mountain is receiving enough rave reviews to gain more Internet searches.

Just like in the case of other indie artists, it is quite difficult to find websites that offer downloads of Slo-mo’s music. eMusic and Amazon are just some of the few online music stores that offer Slo-Mo’s songs and albums for public purchase. Looking for free Slo music downloads is even harder. Even the featured songs in his MySpace page are not available for download.

For a preview of the Smokey Mountain album, you can visit Slo-mo’s MySpace page to listen to a couple of songs. The songs from the Smokey Mountain album which are featured on his MySpace page are “How Do We Win the War", “Adios Amigos", “Aramingo TakeOut", and “Shine As You Are". To hear the other seven songs included in the album, you may want to try searching for them on the Internet.
