"Finally Almost Ready," the latest recording from roots-folksters The Ragbirds, comes out August 14 — but you can hear two of its tracks now. "Book Of Matches" and "The Frame" are now available free on The Ragbirds fan page on Facebook.

Like what you hear? You can preorder the CD from the market section of The Ragbirds web site. Plus, the group performs free in Liberty Park on August 13 as part of the Sonic Lunch concert series.
