Trivia about ‘Covers With Friends’
After being out since September 1st, the album Covers With Friends has reached the no. 8 of iTunes charts and the hashtag #getjensentonumber1 was already on Twitter’s Trending Topics. We leave here some excerpts of last Jason Manns’ updates, where he tells us how it was to record with Jensen and what we can expect after this album.
As I mentioned before, I tried to use the guests on more than one track when I could, but the lead performances were the priority of course. We would focus on the biggest part they were singing, then the rest. for instance with Jensen, we started with Simple Man, then did his verse of the weight, and had harmonies on Wagon Wheel and another tune ready incase we had time, but we really dug in on Simple Man, so we didn’t have time for anything more than the Weight, because apparently he makes some TV show, and they were waiting for him on set. (which is why on Wagon wheel, 2 of the 4 parts in the chorus harmony are sung by me.)
As I sit here in my studio literally surrounded by mountains of CDs, shipping labels, postage stamps, envelopes, and boxes, I wanna take a quick little break to tell you guys a story. It’s actually my favorite story from the process of recording this album, and an example of the fun little coincidences that make life kinda funny sometimes.

Hello my friends,
Today officially marks the start of the pre-sale for Cover with Friends!! Please let your friends, family, neighbors, random strangers on the street know, and help me get the word out! It’s available soon via iTunes, Amazon, Cdbaby, etc, but it’s available starting TODAY via Bandcamp, (link above) and if they pre-order it they get one track right now… which is The Weight (featuring Jensen Ackles, Rob Benedict, Gil McKinney, Richard Speight, Jr., and myself). I chose this track because I think it represents this album so well. As I mentioned in my last update, there are 5 different singers, and some awesome harmonies, not to mention stellar performances by the the band (on a song by The Band) so thats the track they get now.
That being said, I do think Jensen’s Simple Man will be the first “single” from this album, and I’ve got a pretty good idea how we can all convince Jensen to make an album of his own sometime soon… hint: I might have to get you guys to help me spread a hashtag something like #getJensentonumber1 and #1 would be amazing, but even it’s not first, and Simple Man gets high enough on the charts to make a splash, I think he’d have to agree (and I may or may not have mentioned this to him already) he’d have to give the fans their very own album… More details on that later, once the iTunes pre-sale and Amazon links go live we’ll have to get everyone and their mom to download and gift like crazy at least that track so all those numbers go down on the release date, hopefully making a big splash!
