Stream M. Ward & Bright Eyes' Contributions To The Hottest State
Earlier this week we got a listen of Feist's take on the Jesse Harris-penned "Somewhere Down The Road," part of the Harris-in-covers project hatched by Ethan Hawke for his upcoming big screen novel adaptation The Hottest State. Now you can head to myspace.com/thehotteststate for more listens, including M. Ward and Conor Oberst's takes on Jesse tunes "Crooked Lines" and "Big Old House," respectively. Really feeling the Bright Eyes cut, one of the soundtrack's absolute highlights -- no small feat considering the artist list (Willie, Emmylou, Mehldau, and Chan). Plus, you can hear Harris's interpretation of his own tune ("One Day"), how quaint. They guy's looking better by the second. Haven't given his new one Feel a spin yet, but that'll change soon. (Ethan, Jesse ... your plan is working.)

What a lineup. Those are some of my favorite artists. It's too bad that they didn't tap Bill Frisell to contribute an instrumental guitar track. He's played on Jesse Harris, Norah Jones, and Tony Scherr's records. It would have fit right in with the rest of the lineup.

On a related note, does anyone know anything about the film The Go-Getter?
It's apparently scored by M.Ward, and he's even got a bit part in it, but I can't find out anything more about when and where it will exist for people to actually see.
