Hey howdy!

Posted April 16th, 2008 by Jars of Clay

Hey friends. Back home from our nation’s capitol of government and nice tailored suits. Big news, if you haven’t heard – a greatest hits has been released! Provident Label Group, our home for our entire career up to the Christmas album, has put out a collection of tunes. Yes, I know what some of you are thinking. Frankly, that’s kind of rude, and I wouldn’t say those sorts of things to friends, but anyway…
Example
It’s featuring a new tune, “Love Is A Protest.” We’ve played this live a bit already, and it’s becoming a favorite live song.
Example
I should also say that Tim Parker, fantastic artist in residence at the label has once again knocked it out of the park. The cover is fantastic, and if I have anything to do about it, we’ll be making some t-shirts from that cover. Well done, Tim.

I hope this finds you well! We’ve started arranging and recording the new album! Think of us. Think of us wearing fruit on our heads.

S.

Thanks for the update Steve! Any chance of video updates like with CS? The GH cover art would make an awesome shirt. I hope that idea materializes (get it? t-shirt, material...yeah, bad pun, I know).

Have y'all turned the studio into the Copacabana or something? Or have you been channeling Carmen Miranda's spirit?

Good luck on the recording process! I hope it goes well so that we can all hear it soon! :)

Fruit on your what?

Hi Steve, thanks for the upload!

Fuit on your heads...that's a tough one. I try to imagine you in a very artistic kind of way wearing fruit on your heads, but I just can come up with really funny pictures of you. Sorry about that. Whatever that means, I'm sure it is going to work out just fine and at the end when you relase your new production we all will say, Oh! that's what you were talking about.

Anyway, have fun working. I can only pray that God bless you in this album, Thank you putting images in our heads to keep us busy thinking of you.

With having all that creative freedom you guys are now experiencing, I hope this doesn't mean your're starting to wear your "fruit of looms" on your noggins. -Paul

You know, Steve, I've been waiting for a GH for awhile. After you guys made a Christmas album, I thought that the next thing we fans needed was an album with our favorite songs. Well, we've finally got it.

Fruit on your heads, eh? The thought is making me laugh right now. Wait 'till I tell my sister. We're going to laugh together.

Thanks for the update! God bless you all!

I agree with Liz...we need Real Story vids to get us through til the new album drops!

Regarding the GH cover art for tshirts, I love that! I would definitely pick up a couple.

Peace,
Teri

[sorry, but I really love that song ^ ^]

I'm with you; that cover is amazingly awesome!!! I was at Best Buy yesterday and I saw it and I was like, "wait a minute...that's Jars!!!" And I was so hyped to see a new song! And now I'm even more hyped to see that it's available on iTunes without having to but the entire album with it. It brightens my day :D

Fruit on your head

On May 23rd, 2008 Hannijo said:

The only fruit that I figure people wear on their heads would be those big white Georgian wigs that have lots of fruit all over them. But I cant really imagine you all jamming away wearing those !! There might be a safety hazard there somewhere...

Take care,
Hannah xx

P.S nice picture and the album cover is beautiful.
