I've seen a brief mention of this and a few people who weren't in the know, so I figured I'd have a thread dedicated to it.
A message from the man, the myth, the legend himself:
Hello friends. Just like most everyone else under this crazy dome, I have been a fan of the Beatles since early childhood... But it wasn't 'till sometime in '99 that an old pal turned me on to "All Things Must Pass" and I quickly became even more enamored with the quiet beauty and majesty of all things George Harrison. He always seemed to be a beacon of good light unto the world, accomplishing the rare task of using his massive fortune and fame to promote peace - both within and around the World. I will always look up to and see him as a prime example of the healing power of music and how, in tune with it, all is possible.
The following are a selection of George's songs I recorded back in 2001, a few days after he passed that were moving me so very much at the time... I recorded them live at above the Cadillac in Shelbyville, KY... On my cousin John's "ol faithful" Fostex 8 track reel2reel, then overdubbed a banjitar or b. vox here or there. I find comfort knowing that all things must pass, but that as all things do pass their spirits are still out there moving us somewhere... doing what they do, just as real as they ever were in this physical world... I hear them singing and I feel them in my blood.
Thanks George for helping me to understand things just a lil bit better...

Beginning today, you can listen to and download "Behind That Locked Door" from yimyames.com. And starting on July 7th, you'll be able to buy the EP directly from the website, and download it immediately. We'll also give you the opportunity to purchase the CD, and a limited edition vinyl of Tribute To. A portion of the proceeds from the sale will go to the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary and with your purchase of the Limited Edition Vinyl & CD, you'll also receive a t-shirt from the organization... your reminder that your money went to a good and worthy cause.
The tracklist for the tribute is:
Long, Long, Long Behind That Locked Door Love You To My Sweet Lord Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll) All Things Must Pass
I personally cannot freaking wait for this. As broke as I may be at the time without a job, this is one vinyl which I absolutely 100% must buy immediately
I am so incredibly happy with this. I can't wait to hear My Sweet Lord. Anyone else get chills when they read that there is a fill length solo record coming soon? Is that the Tribute album or another solo albumwith new material?

woooooo 2 days til I can order the vinyl. Can't wait to give it a spin... I hope with purchasing the vinyl I'll be able to get a digital download to listen to it immediately, but I doubt it. I don't wanna have to wait until after AllGood to hear it though...
So what ... wait? Where did you find this vinyl at? I finally got around to checking out yimyames.com and didn't see it posted. What I did find was a tab for shows.

I don't know which I'm more excited about... the sure to be incredible sound when Jim James covers a profound Beatle such as Harrison, or a free t-shirt!

I feel like I should be allowed to order this when the clock strikes midnight and it's officially 7/7 here in a few minutes.
edit: and it totally was!! With an immediate digital download available as well with the purchase of the vinyl. ABout to give it a listen here right this second
But holy god that's the most expensive vinyl I think I've ever purchased... But hey, I got a t-shirt out of it

I just got the album and gave it a listen... all I can say is MY SWEET LORD this is an awesome CD... I love George Harrison and his music, and Jim James does it so much justice! His version of "My Sweet Lord" is angelic!

Did anybody who ordered the vinyl get theirs in the mail yet? Mine still hasn't arrived, and I'm just curious if it's time to send some emails or make some phone calls.
