Ward, Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Conor Oberst, and Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes producer).  Talk of this album has been floating around the blogosphere ever since they first went on tour together in ’04.  It is great to finally receive news that this record is actually complete.  The self-titled debut is set to be released 9/22 via Shangri-La.  According to the press release, these four guys will be playing all the instruments on the record. Here are a few tunes for those of you who are foolish enough to think that these guys don’t make folk music. I am so stinkin’ excited for this record.

M. Ward, Conor Oberst & Jim James – Girl From The North Country

Bright Eyes – Lua

Jim James & Calexico – Goin’ To Acapulco

M. Ward – Helicopter
