Each episode will also include a cover of a song from that album, and on April 8, 2018, an I Only Listen To The Mountain Goats tribute album will come out with all 14 songs. The participating artists include Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace, The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn, Andrew Bird, Amanda Palmer, Julian Koster (Neutral Milk Hotel, The Music Tapes), Dessa, Mothers, Nana Grizol, Holy Sons, Eliza Rickman & Jherek Bischoff, and more (full list below).
