News from Munckmix:

Dear RatDog Live customer,

We would like to bring you some exciting news: Bob Weir's longtime friend and lyricist John Perry Barlow has released a new album: "Barlow Shanghai"

Barlow has mostly operated behind the scenes as a lyricist for The Grateful Dead (Cassidy, Estimated Prophet, Music Never Stopped,...), and various Bob Weir projects. That is - until now.

On a trip to Chicago last years Barlow met a group of seasoned jam band musicians known as "Mr. Blotto". Together they started writing a song just for the fun of it, but the chemistry grew, and in the course of several subsequent sessions the songs continued to flow. The result: "Barlow Shanghai" - an album full of original songs crafted and co-produced by Barlow himself.

Barlow Shanghai is being released on Oct. 13 and is not yet available in stores, but as a RatDog Live customer you can get it now. CDs are in stock and ready to ship, downloads are available immediately. The CD comes with a 6 page booklet including the lyrics to all 15 songs.
