''Down in a Mirror: A Second Tribute to Jandek'' is a tribute album compiled by Moscow, PA-based independent record label Summersteps Records, released as a follow-up to the label's first Jandek tribute, ''Naked in the Afternoon''. As with ''Naked in the Afternoon'', ''Down In A Mirror'' features cover versions of songs by the reclusive avant-folk/blues singer/songwriter Jandek. Some of the artists are members of the Summersteps roster or fans forming one-time combos to participate on the album, but the album also features contributions from Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Six Organs of Admittance (reportedly a favorite modern act of Jandek's, according to the "unauthorized" ''Texas Monthly'' interview), The Mountain Goats, Kawabata Makoto of Acid Mothers Temple, and Okkervil River. All of the songs are covers of songs from Jandek's back catalog, with the exception of the contribution by the act Dirty Projectors, an original song called "With U Icon (An Homage)". As with the first Summersteps-led tribute album, Jandek gave full permission to cover his material through his Corwood Industries label and, at Summersteps' request, contributed some photographs taken by the singer/songwriter for the CD's cover art that emulates Jandek's own record/CD releases. The recording, compilation, and release of ''Down In A Mirror'' came in the wake of both the acclaimed documentary ''Jandek on Corwood'' and Jandek's own sudden surprise foray into live performance, and as a result gained more attention than the original tribute album. Three of the songs on the compilation, "Nancy Sings", "Babe I Love You", and "Cave In On You", were also covered on ''Naked in the Afternoon'' five years earlier, and two songs, "You Painted Your Teeth" and "Babe I Love You" are covered twice (in different arrangements) on this album - a slight curiosity given the fact that at the time the last contribution to this album was finished in February 2005, Corwood Industries had released over 40 albums of Jandek material. ==Track listing== #"Crack a Smile" (from ''Lost Cause'') – 3:35 # *Performed by Jeff Tweedy (of Wilco). #"You Painted Your Teeth" (from ''Telegraph Melts'') – 2:36 # *Performed by Live Show Rabbits #"The Dunes" (from ''Worthless Recluse'') – 2:04 # *Performed by Eric Gaffney #"Your Other Man" (from ''Blue Corpse'') – 5:17 # *Performed by Okkervil River #"Message to the Clerk" (from ''On The Way'') – 3:43 # *Performed by Brother JT #"I'll Sit Alone and Think a lot About You" (from ''On the Way'') – 4:31 # *Performed by Six Organs of Admittance #"Cave in on You/European Jewel" (Incomplete) (both from ''Ready for the House'') – 5:06 # *Performed by Home for the Def #"Down in a Mirror" (from ''Chair Beside a Window'') – 3:34 # *Performed by The Marshmallow Staircase #"White Box" (from ''White Box Requiem'') – 2:51 # *Performed by The Mountain Goats #"Aimless Breeze" (from ''Worthless Recluse'') – 2:40 # *Performed by George Parsons #"Nancy Sings" (from ''Chair Beside a Window'') – 4:47 # *Performed by Lewis & Clarke #"Naked in the Afternoon" (from ''Ready for the House'') – 2:45 # *Performed by Jack Norton #"Sung" (from ''Interstellar Discussion'') – 1:46 # *Performed by Rivulets #"Babe I Love You" (from ''Lost Cause'') – 4:31 # *Performed by Kawabata Makoto #"The Spirit" (from ''Interstellar Discussion'') – 4:01 # *Performed by Wayside Drive #"Just Die" (from ''I Woke Up'') – 6:48 # *Performed by a Real Knife Head #"Van Nuys Mission" (from ''Glad to Get Away'') – 2:51 # *Performed by Ross Beach #"I Found the Right Change" (from ''The Gone Wait'') – 1:46 # *Performed by Multi-Panel #"Babe I Love You" (from ''Lost Cause'') – 2:44 # *Performed by Dan Melchior #"You Painted Your Teeth" (from ''Telegraph Melts'') – 4:09 # *Performed by Pothole Skinny #"With U Icon" (An Homage) (Dog Longneck) – 5:09 # *Performed by Dirty Projectors 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Down in a Mirror: A Second Tribute to Jandek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
