Music collector Matthew Lanoue has made available as free downloads the Annette Hanshaw songs used in Sita Sings the Blues. These recordings are only available anywhere due to the efforts of record collectors, NOT Big Media corporations. Thanks Matthew!
Update – today, October 18, is Annette Hanshaw’s birthday! How’s that for fortuitous timing? Hat tip to Stewart and Steven for emailing me.
Very cool! I’ll have to check but I think I have them all.
Thanks to your praise for her years ago, I bought a greatest hits collection – way back when.
And that was before I adopted the shopping credo – “I Buy What Nina Tells Me to Buy!”
i’m thrilled to have these songs, thank you!
How wonderful! I just saw your great movie tonight at the IFC theater and now I’ve discovered that I can download all that wonderful Annette Hanshaw music for free…I’m deliriously happy!!
Wow, what a wonderful moive and the music is beautiful. I learn to love jazz music by listening to Annette Hanshaw and I happy that it’s free to listen to again. Thank you very much to have free mp3!!!!

Hi Nina! I’m a teacher of french language, France, creating a piece of theater with my young students, a sort of bollywood version of the Ramayana. This is how I discovered your work, I think a very charming,profound and joyfull movie in cultural and aestetical way. Thank you for your art! Your free ressources will be very helpfull for us!
