George & Jim
 We're beyond thrilled to announce that Jim James, lead singer of the mega-popular, arena-selling-out band "My Morning Jacket," has announced the upcoming release of a limited edition EP, with a portion of the proceeds coming to the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary! The EP is a collection of George Harrison songs covered by Jim James (under the alias "Yim Yames"). They were recorded back in 2001 -- just a few days after Harrison's death -- and have been sitting in a vault ever since.
Both Jim and WFAS Director Jenny Brown happened to be in their common home town of Louisville when they met for the first time, and Jim was moved by WFAS's mission to rescue, protect and provide a voice for the most exploited and abused beings in the world -- farmed animals. >>READ THE ARTICLE IN THE NY TIMES<<
A vegetarian for ethical reasons, Jim thought the idea of this album as fundraiser for WFAS to be a perfect match. "I know this is something that George [Harrison] really believed in," he said, and that "George was all about treating all creatures equally and eating responsibly." With this summer being the 40th anniversary of the original Woodstock concert, it is fitting that a true proponent of peace and love be honored this way.
 Visit Jim's website where you can download a free preview song or buy a digital download of the full EP. There's also a limited-edition vinyl version that will include a physical CD as well as a special WFAS t-shirt.
Buy an autographed copy of the CD on eBay!
We heartily thank Jim James and his wonderful management team for putting all this together! We couldn't be more proud or thankful! To us, Jim truly rocks in more ways than one.
