For your mp3 collection, I think it’s safe to say that nobody among us has enough B.B. King. I know I never do…

Amazon.com’s music store offers a free download of Buddy Guy and B.B. King performing a wonderful song called Stay Around A Little Longer, and if you love jazz or blues guitar, or even vintage Motown, this will be a gem in your collection.

The song is soulful and sweet, and beautifully optimistic. Lord, don’t take me yet, let me stay around a little longer. Lord, I love the life I live… Buddy’s vocals are poignant and joyful at the same time, and B.B.’s guitar never sounded happier.

This is just one of hundreds of free songs you can find at the Amazon store, and as always, the songs are DRM-free mp3’s. They’ll play in Windows Media Player or iTunes, in the mp3 player of your choice… I even listen to them on my Android phone. About the only thing this download won’t play on is your old cassette boom-box.

Hey, maybe you’re not a fan of this kind of music, but you know someone who is. How about this – get them a USB drive for a Christmas present, and load it up with songs they’ll enjoy! Give the gift of music – and if you shop around a little, the freebies you can find at Amazon will make it a memorable and affordable gift idea!
