Jason Manns gave recently an interview for Hypable‘s website where he talked about his songs of the new album called Recovering With Friends. Three tracks of these album include a participation of Jensen and told how it is to record with him.
Steve Miller Band ft. Jensen Ackles – ‘The Joker’
The first song called ‘The Joker’ was described as a kind of ‘throwback’for the first time they sang together, which was ‘Crazy Love’ by Van Morrison. It’s a song considered a classic and there’s no way how to not like it . Jensen act comes in in the second verse.
The Band ft. Jensen Ackles, Mark Pellegrino, Rob Benedict and Richard Speight, Jr. – ‘Up on Cripple Creek’
As Jason as revealed, the main problem of this project was the busy schedules of the actors. Taking into account, their schedule’s it was almost impossible to have all of them, at the same time, place and studio to record. So what happened was that during 9 months which was the time taken to record this one, they did several verses with each one of them and built the song.
James Gang ft. Jensen Ackles – ‘Funk 49’
The singer told that he loves the public reaction to Jensen’s voice. He found out his talent, back then 16 years ago when they first met. Jensen’s type of music is rock & roll, and Jason was ansious to explore it with him in this album. The expetactions were excedeed after the record of ‘Joker’ and ‘Cripple Creep’ however, was taken and they decided (after a while convincing to record something diferent and unusual) to carry out the record. So, the deal was if the song was good it would be used. As Jason admitted that the song would be good and a success, it didn’t take too many time to work with it.
