I’m writing a song for every chapter in my novel.  I play and record everything myself – aka The American Songbook of the Dead (as suggested by RW Hedges). Click the arrow on the right to download the song. Downloads are a slightly better quality than the player.  For iPad users (or anyone who wants it) there’s also an mp3 link, or click here for a complete list.
