notes

From Yep Roc Press Release:

In addition to Traveling Alone’s original tracks, the expanded edition features bonus album Traveling Companion – 10 previously unreleased acoustic tracks, including Merritt originals and two covers from Joni Mitchell and Tom Waits. Traveling Companion was recorded this year at Brooklyn’s Mason Jar Music studio with guitarist Eric Heywood (The Jayhawks, Son Volt, Alejandro Escovedo). Please see a list of tour dates and track listing below.

The special companion package comes in both CD and LP formats. The CD version includes the hardbound, vintage-inspired book with two CDs in swinging pockets bound within the book’s pages. The premiere vinyl LP version includes three 180-gram LPs that span both Traveling Alone and Traveling Companion, the hardbound lyric book and three custom postcards. Both come with a free digital download code insert, and are must-haves for Merritt fans new and old.
