So I ran across a brand new Jim James cover song from Bob Marley, "Turn Your Lights Down Low", posted on Pitchfork's website (audio can be heard on their website as well). I think this one will put everyone in the mood! lol
From Pitchfork's website:
A reminder that Valentine's Day is just about two months down the road: On February 4, Hear Music/Concord Music Group will release the compilation Sweetheart 2014, featuring a bunch of big names covering older songs that tend toward the romantic. Highlights include Vampire Weekend doing Andrea Bocelli, Fiona Apple and her sister Maude Maggart doing Anton Karas, Phosphorescent doing Bob Dylan, Beck doing John Lennon, and a bunch more.
The physical version of the album will be sold only at Starbucks. It will also be available digitally through all outlets. It's the fifth in a series of Valentine's Day covers albums that Starbucks has sold.

I've bought previous Sweetheart compilations from Starbucks are been very pleased with them. I expect this one to be just as good.

Very nice! :thumbsup:
GODDAMN, is this shit charcoal-filtered?! This is goin' down smoooooooooth. Would LOVE to hear this tossed into some setlists. Love that squeaky clean guitar tone JJ has goin'!
OFF TOPIC - Really hope this comp gets people checkin' out Bahamas. I've been heapin' praise on this guy for years and I really hope he catches on Stateside soon. This comp seems like a step in the right direction!
Looks like a trip to SB for me. :thumbsup:
You can also buy it on iTunes, Gina.

Good to know - but being a SB fiend - just gives me another reason to head out for a venti hazelnut macchiato. :wink:
waaayy better than the last time Jim ventured down the path of Bob Marley. I couldn't get down with the Waiting in Vain remix.
