PEARLY GATE MUSIC

Please visit Pearly Gate Music, my brother Zach’s material. He is an absurdly, massively talented songwriter and lyricist in the vein of Leonard Cohen or Jeff Mangum. His songs are pure magic and I listen to them in complete awe and rapture.

Entire Tillman Discography on iTunes, etc.

“I Will Return”, “Long May You Run, J. Tillman”, “Minor Works” and “Cancer and Delirium” are now all available on iTunes for pretty cheap. Kory Kruckenberg re-mastered (or, more accurately, “mastered”) LMYRJT so it’s actually audible. I think they’re on Rhapsody and stuff too.

Thanks for listening, more tour and VTB news soon.
