If you’re looking for a quick musical fix for your July 4th weekend, the Amazon MP3 store has two deals worth celebrating. The first is the free Patriotic Music Amazon Sampler from Documentary Recordings, a 10-track collection that includes “God Bless America,” “America the Beautiful” and military songs. The second is the 30-track A Salute to America, by 101 Strings, a new everything-but-the-kitchen-sink collection released this week that costs only $1.89. Performance quality varies, but for 40 tracks for less than $2, it’s still a good deal. Seriously, even the iffy Lawrence Welk-sounding renditions on the latter are palatable as background music for a barbecue. The Amazon MP3 downloader is required, but the free plug-in makes downloading easy and can be configured to dump the new tracks right into iTunes.
