We Are Only Riders (The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project)

Overview

We Are Only Riders (The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project) --- 2009

Comes in gatefold sleeve. While clearing out his attic, Cypress Grove came across a bag of dusty old cassettes. He found one marked "JLP Songs". As soon as he put it on he remembered what it was; Cypress & Jeffrey rehearsing material for the album they made together (Ramblin' Jeffrey Lee and Cypress Grove with Willie love"). This resulted in Cypress starting to contact other musicians to see what could be done with this unfinished material. We Are Only Riders is more than just a "Various Artists" compilation. It's a musical collective of artists who have come together to interpret (and in some cases, complete) unfinished skeletal works by Jeffrey Lee Pierce.
