In early 2009, we introduced you to John Wood, who, as Learning Music, had embarked on the audacious project of recording and releasing one album per month, available via Learning Music Monthly on a pay-what-you-can basis. His staggering body of work eventually spanned all genres and included contributions from some 50 musicians. Now, after 36 albums, LMM is over (and about two-thirds of Wood’s 500 songs have found their way into the Buzz Bands collection). The songwriter’s collaborator in the project, John Gillilan of Vosotros Music, recently wrote a retrospective for the WFMU Free Music Archive on the project; it’s recommended reading. He also compiled “An End Like This,” a collection containing a track from each of the LMM albums. It’s a good place to start – eventually you might find yourself clicking through the LMM website in search of more gems. Like I just did.
