'The Wire' soundtracks out today

The Wire: Beyond Hamsterdam: Baltimore and The Wire: And All the Pieces Matter -- Five Years of Music from the Wire both hit shelves today.

Beyond Hamsterdam has a bunch of local artists like Rod Lee, Tyree Colion, Ogun, Diablo and Lafayette Gilchrist.

All the Pieces Matter has more music and memorable audio excerpts from episodes.

So support local artists and the best TV show to come out of Charm City and buy a copy.

I don't have HBO - who's singing "Way Down in the Hole" this season?

Steve Earle this year.

Thanks!

I can't say the Steve Earle version really does it for me. The Neville Brothers and the Blind Boys of Alabama did it best.

About the blogger

I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
