A Reissue for the Morning After

January 6, 2011 By Mike Duquette — No Comments

Legacy has just announced a deluxe edition for one of Columbia’s more recent classics: the debut LP by Pete Yorn.

The New Jersey-born singer-songwriter rose to prominence with 2001’s musicforthemorningafter at the age of 26, after being signed to Columbia for two years and co-writing the score to the film Me, Myself & Irene (2000). Tunes like “Life on a Chain,” “For Nancy (‘Cos It Already Is)” and “Strange Condition” were modest hits on Billboard‘s Adult Top 40 and Modern Rock charts, and the album received widespread critical acclaim.

For this 10th anniversary expanded edition, Legacy has added a bonus disc comprised mostly of Yorn’s 2001 performance on KCRW-FM’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic” (featuring an interview, acoustic run-throughs of key tracks and a cover of The Smiths’ “Panic”) and featuring some rare and unreleased outtakes from the original album. The set will be available on March 22; read about it here and order it here.

The full track list is after the jump.
