DOWNLOAD: Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore – Something, Somewhere, Sometime (MP3)

Dear Companion [out February 16th, 2010 on Sub Pop] is a collaboration between three Kentucky musicians: the songs are written and performed by Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore, produced by and featuring Yim Yames of My Morning Jacket and Monsters of Folk. Recorded in the first half of 2009 in their home state, Dear Companion explores their ties to the place they love and aims to draw attention to the problem of mountaintop removal coal mining and its impact on the people and heritage of central Appalachia.

A portion of the proceeds from Dear Companion will benefit Appalachian Voices, an organization devoted to ending mountaintop removal and finding a better way forward

That’s three true talents all bundled together for one potentially kick ass album. The first track, “Something, Somewhere, Sometime”, is available for free download above. Think M Ward & Andrew Bird form a bluegrass band. Tracklist below…
