New Music Trend--Releasing Records Straight to Apple's iTunes Music Store

Marc Cohn of "Walking in Memphis" fame is recording a new album live in Cleveland and then releasing it directly on iTunes according to this The Plain Dealer article. Apparently, the latest trend is for artists to record their songs then lease them to record companies. Cohn's latest album may not even show up in the music store, just on Apple's iTunes.
