Thanks to our friends at Three-Lobed Recordings for making this possible!
Here is the announcement that Three Lobe posted regarding the compilation:
"HONEST STRINGS: A TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE AND WORK OF JACK ROSE" DOWNLOAD COMPILATION AVAILABLE
It should come as no secret to anyone who reads these updates that we were pretty shocked about the December passing of our friend Jack Rose. While it has been tough around here and actions are no substitute for the man himself, we have been busy curating a download-only tribute "album" to Jack. This compilation is monstrous and insanely full of good material - it's a very fitting tribute to the man. The compilation, "Honest Strings: A Tribute To The Life And Work Of Jack Rose," is now up and available for sale exclusively from the download portion of the Thrill Jockey site, FINA. This compilation costs $15, an absolute bargain for what you are getting, with 100% of the purchase price will go to Jack's estate. The compilation itself is, get this, six and a half hours long. Yes, you read that right.
