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.)
The Hottest State Soundtrack is out 8/7 via Hickory. Tracklist below.
