Okkervil River Release Golden Opportunities 2

As a follow-up to their 2007 Golden Opportunities Mixtape, Okkervil River is releasing yet another Free EP for fans! Golden Opportunities 2 is made up of covers from lesser-known musical gems like Motown session-player Ted Lucas and mysterious L.A. singer-songwriter Jim Sullivan.

The complete track listing is:
It is So Nice to Get Stoned (by Ted Lucas)
U.F.O. (by Jim Sullivan)
One Soul Less On Your Fiery List (by David McComb)
Plan D (by Bill Fay)
Dry Bones (American Traditional)

And it’s all available right now for free download on the Okkervil River web site!

Also, if you’ve missed Okkervil River live this year, you can catch Will Sheff solo on December 2nd at Music Hall of Williamsburg with Bird of Youth and Sondre Lerche.
