Database Of Recorded American Music
The Database of Recorded American Music (DRAM) is an online resource providing streaming media access to musical works from 26 independent record labels, along with their liner notes, album art, and other related materials. History The database began as a project of New World Records, Inc. a not-for-profit recording label which has successfully maintained its distinctive mission for more than thirty years: to actively document and disseminate the work of American composers, selected solely based on artistic merit.
