Liner Notes:
In celebration of the fifth anniversary of Jamdemic, Mike and Chris are releasing all six volumes — 167 songs!
It began as one song in honor of Mike’s birthday, when Chris shared a recording of his “Everyday Escape,” written about Mike’s move to California.
It grew with Mike’s challenge: let’s record and share one original song each day, making a “Great Song Exchange” to give us focus and joy during the dark days of the 2020 pandemic lockdown.
Thus, JAMDEMIC was born.
What followed was more than 80 evenings of single-song, live-at-home gigs, affectionately referred to as “Live at Day-Old Decaf.”
Mike avoided his previously recorded songs, dusting off hidden gems and unveiling more recent music. Chris recently reflected, “I was blown away at how much Mike’s archives could just as easily be his greatest hits. Ultimately, I was jealous because my back catalog is of inconsistent quality. However, this was a productive jealousy; by the end of Jamdemic, I was motivated to record new songs that were heartfelt and complex.”
For his own recordings, Chris flipped through The Chris Moore Songbook, a collection of lyrics and chords he had assembled in college. Some were old favorites he had played a hundred times, while others he had only played once (while writing them).
Now, you can enjoy these songs also, and Mike and Chris hope you do. Without further ado, they give you all six volumes of the Jamdemic box set!
