Hey Gang,

I wanted to share this with you as i haven't seen it posted here yet. Mike has contributed music to this compilation along with some other amazing talents who have spent time recording at the Compound Studio in Southern California. I am in no way affiliated with the studio but have done some recording here in the past and can vouch for these folks being top notch and not the kind that would do something like this unless it was really necessary. The Compound Studio is an institution for many Socal musicians and i'd love to see them keep their doors open.

Check out the link. There are musical contributions from Mike, Marc Ford, Mike Watt and many other amazing artists who probably agree this place needs to remain open for all musicians to take advantage of.

Mike plays all guitars on the new song Fall Down

Thanks,
Jeff

    Wondering if this is an "exclusive" digital download album. Would love this on silver CD.

    appears to be just a download at this point. I will inquire about a physical disc

    Mike McCready is one of the founding members of Pearl Jam. He's also played with Temple of the Dog, Mad Season and more. Mike has been making The Compound Studio his Southern California home for the past year or so. He and Robbie Allen are longtime friends so it was only natural that Robbie get on over and in on the session. This song is one of our many "jams" which Robbie and I took and built into a song, Robbie sang the melody, wrote some lyrics with Gerry Gomez and then we brought Lexi in to do her scream thing. ROCK.

    I got word back from them. It's digital download for now. They are planning a kickstarter campaign to manufacture vinyl!

    Thanks for checking on that!

    I'd certainly contribute to the fund for some fresh vinyl. The studio is independently run and such a cool place. It'd be tragic to see it disappear.

    No problemo! :)

    If they do the kickstarter thing I will help out for sure!
