Glass Hammer’s Popularity Skyrockets Glass

Hammer’s “Middle-earth Album” has become an indie hit on Amazon.com. With sales soaring, the five star fan rated album moved to the top 1% of Amazon’s huge inventory. “We’re getting tons of fan mail, and we’ve never seen a Glass Hammer album so well received,” says Glass Hammer founder Steve Babb. “Amazon’s decision to initially bundle our album with The Lord of the Rings Limited Edition Sound Track played a big role in its success I’m sure. But we never expected this kind of response.” Much of Glass Hammer’s “Middle-earth Album” was supposedly “recorded live at The Prancing Pony” and comes complete with a rowdy crowd of singing dwarves, halflings, and other Bree-folk. For all of the details, check the group’s website at http://www.glasshammer.com or purchase the album at here.
