Our first New Year's freebie in these waning days of 2011 is the collaborative effort of Frank Turner & Jon Snodgrass. Turner is a British artist who has done everything from Punk to Folk in his career. Snodgrass is an American Alt Country artist whose musical exploits have included stints with the groups Armchair Martian and Drag The River. Late in 2010, the pair got together to record the album "Buddies" in less than two days. Surely, they reasoned, they could write and record a New Year's song in under two hours. They actually accomplished the feat in under a half hour. So there. Head to The Ruckus to download "Happy New Year" for free.
