Description
You are bidding on an a strictly limited edition vinyl copy of the fifth installment of the Songs For Slim series, where artists pay tribute to Replacements guitarist Slim Dunlap by covering his songs. This 45 leads off with Wallflowers frontman Jakob Dylan tearing through a rollicking, bluesy interpretation of "Ain't No Fair (In A Rock n' Roll Affair)," a classic Slim rocker and crowd favorite. Produced by Joe Henry, "Ain't No Fair" also features a guest appearance by John Doe on backing vocals. Speaking of Joe Henry, his work over the last three decades has made him a favorite of discriminating music fans worldwide, distinguishing himself both as an ever-evolving solo artist and an in-demand producer. He’s also been a key part of the Songs For Slim project; his contributions as producer for several of the SFS releases have been invaluable. This month he takes center stage for an impassioned reading of “Taken On The Chin,” Slim’s mournful journey to the dark side of life. Henry delivers a stunning vocal performance with a slightly different batch of fab session-eers masterfully create a piece that hits the listener straight in the gut with an emotional wallop that won’t soon be forgotten. It’s brilliant on every level.
This release will be limited to 100 numbered copies, signed by Jakob and Joe and, like all SFS releases, feature original Chris Mars artwork. Each release includes a digital download card for both songs and all proceeds go to to The Slim Dunlap Recovery Fund (Details below). This auction will run May 15-22.
As an added bonus, the highest bidder out of all 100 of these auctions will receive a free pair of beautiful high-end wooden headphones, courtesy of LSTN!
