Matt Harlan and Jamie Lin Wilson's 'Rice Birds' Available June 1 Eight 30 Records is releasing a digital-only bonus single from the highly acclaimed Highway Prayer: A Tribute to Adam Carroll each month through August! Available this month: Matt Harlan and Jamie Lin Wilson's “Rice Birds.” “Rice Birds was one of the first Adam songs I ever heard and the simple poetry of it struck me immediately,” Harlan says. “It's one of those instant classics that makes you feel like it's about your own life. Laying it down at the Woodshed, with Jamie's voice in my ear, and those early memories in my head, just felt kinda magical.” Highway Prayer: A Tribute to Adam Carroll, produced by Jenni Finlay and Brian T. Atkinson and released last fall on their Austin-based record label, celebrates a true songwriter’s songwriter, a Texas tunesmith who has inspired both younger and older artists for nearly two decades. Accolades poured in immediately. “It speaks volumes that James McMurtry and Hayes Carll and many more all contribute to a new homage to Adam Carroll,” raved Rolling Stone magazine. “It's a diverse group united by a shared appreciation of a writer who may be only 42 but is talented beyond his years.” “Rice Birds” by Matt Harlan and Jamie Lin Wilson Matt Harlan: vocals, acoustic guitar Jamie Lin Wilson: vocals Scrappy Jud Newcomb: baritone guitar Rick Richards: percussion Produced by Jenni Finlay and Brian T.
