Yesterday I was reminded of the same thing; It's called Muppets Revisited and all I could find is that it's going to be released sometime this year....

BUMP

Seriously, with all the Chekov drama and live show chaos, we're pretty much neglecting the coolest thing to happen all year: that pure, classic MMJ sound + the lyrics of Shel Silverstein. What a damn pretty song.

QuoteI've been excited about this one for a while now I'm busting!  MMJ also plays backup on Bobby Bare Sr's track. It's awesome that they're al over this thing.  And yes, the 26 Second Song is just that, but it'll be cool.

Just listened to 26 Second Song on that cd you gave me Dylan!  This shit is awesome.  Thank you so much.

Being unfamiliar with most of the songs and not having a track list, is Lullabies, Legends and Lies on the comp you gave me by chance?

Also, here's to The Winner for some of the best lyrics of all time.  [smiley=beer.gif]

No, it's not.  I'm unfamiliar with that song.  He's got a huge catalogue and most of it is difficult to come by.  I'm glad you're enjoying the disc!

There are some really cool videos on this amazon page with Bobby Bare Sr and Jr discussing a few of the tracks.  One of them is for MMJ.  Look at the lower right hand side.

I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

Nice find..."Jim James showed up with no lyrics, he had it all memorized."

Yup, agree. Just got a copy Monday and can't stop listening. Funny, Angel and I just watched Crazy Heart Sunday. Don't bother with that movie, we thought it sucked. Kinda got me in the mood to listen to some country though.

MMJ tunes are so sweet. The 26 second song cracks me up listening to JJ laughing. Too bad it's not 26 Minute Song!  :)

I think I've actually mentioned this album in two other posts.  Very fun, a great lineup of artists, and MMJ bookends!  Definitely check it out.  
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.
