Amble Down Records has just announced that the new album by Michael Perry and the Long Beds is available for pre-order.
Order now and listen within 24 hours: If you place your pre-order now, within 24 hours the record company will send you a code so you can download and listen to the entire album immediately. Then on March 1(15 days prior to the official release) they’ll mail you the physical album (featuring 3 bonus tracks, dedications, humorous credits, and a full-color poster-sized insert including lyrics and song notes on one side and a captioned photo album on the other).
Following up on yesterday’s post, thanks for all the kind words. If you haven’t listened to the new songs yet, they’re here: http://www.myspace.com/thelongbeds
In the meantime, here’s another band photo, which kinda sums things up:
Here at the Sneezing Cow compound, we’re grateful to announce that Mike has signed a deal with Amble Down Records for the release of his next album with the mighty Long Beds (that’s them below, from a photo shoot conducted less than 25 yards from the chicken coop).

Tiny Pilot will be released on March 16 (album cover art below). Pre-orders will be taken February 1.
More information, photos, and a sample song available on the band’s page at Amble Down Records.
Over at MySpace, you can get an early listen to three songs.
I am deeply grateful to Kyle and the Amble Down crew for going out on a limb with us. And I can’t say enough about the Long Beds themselves. It is a joy and privilege to join them in song.
Here’s the album cover art:
