Enter Withers (AKA Trisloth). A few years ago, a smattering of his cello-jacked Jawbox covers made the rounds on the Internet. At the beginning of 2007, Withers re-cut many of the tracks for this collection as a benefit release for Jawbox frontman, J. Robbins, whose infant son Cal was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Even for the most ardent aficionado of classical and/or chamber music, familiarity with the original Jawbox incarnations of these 12 songs (which by the way, span the group’s four albums) is a prerequisite for any genuine appreciation. That aside, this thoughtfully crafted, D.C. punk-related oddity is ultimately for a good cause.&quot;</span></p></blockquote><p>(Definitely check out The Big Takeover -- it&#39;s the only magazine I subscribe to and has hundreds of informative reviews and stories in every issue)</p><p>Also, look for mini-interviews coming soon in the Washington City Paper, the Boston Phoenix, and BostonNow.<br /></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://trisloth.vox.com/library/post/jawbox-on-cello-official-release-date-12182007.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c2251e1480604a00e398c26e550001?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> media review album press release date big takeover
