Father John Misty: Live At Third Man Records – out September 28th via Third Man Records

The album was recorded in September last year at Third Man Records’ Nashville HQ. ‘On an otherwise ordinary Tuesday afternoon’, Tillman/Misty swung by and ‘surprised [them] all with a lunchtime solo acoustic set before his sold-out Ryman Auditorium performance.’

As is typical of White’s love of vintage tech, the album was recorded direct-to-acetate (acetate being a type of record mainly used from the 1930s to the ’50s) with a ‘1955 Scully Lathe, warmed at the ready to capture the occasion’. Misty began his set with the ‘debut performance of his newly penned “Mr. Tillman”’, with Third Man’s engineers using ‘the second song as an opportunity to carve a 12” on-the-spot single of “Now I’m Learning to Love the War”’ – ‘which was promptly handed it to a lucky attendee for safe keeping.’

‘If you want to know more about that, you’ll have to scour the depths of FJM’s fan net.’ See the tracklist below:
