The Way That He Sings

This may look like a cut-and-paste job (as I had already mentioned this project months ago), but it's finally here... and I'm here to let you know. The internet-only tribute album to My Morning Jacket has been released to the general public!

The Way That He Sings: The Fans Sing My Morning Jacket

"At Dawn" Corey Hannah
"O Is The One That Is Real" Jintro
"Bermuda Highway" Megan Hamilton
"Phone Went West" Buddy
"Evelyn Is Not Real" The Rockefellaz
"Lowdown" Hutch and the Hookers
"Tonite I Want to Celebrate With You" Megan Hamilton
"Just Because I Do" Corey Hannah
"Masterplan" The Stillhouse Downs
"At Dawn" Megan Hamilton

The idea was born back in July of 2004 in a fan newsgroup. Word quickly spread, and indie artists from all over the globe began work on their submissions. Buddy's live, non-reggae version of "Phone Went West" has been included (and actually clocks in as the longest track on the album... what are we, Pink Floyd?). As for the details... the Buddy track was recorded live at the Liquid Lounge in Long Beach, California on June 17th, 2003. That night was full of magic, as I remember it as one of the best Buddy shows to date. The soundboard recording was captured and mastered by fellow-P.I.T. member, Mark Mason. This track was previously available on A Party In The PIT and Best Buddies: Vol. 3 (both released on Some Buddy Records), but now it's gonna be heard by a wider audience (including Jim James - the songwriter).

A special 'thank you" goes out to Corey Hannah for taking the time to make a passion come to life. The collection sounds great! If all goes well, I'm hoping to have my solo version of "The Way That He Sings" included on the next volume. In the meantime, it's raining outside... better put on some Jacket.
