I don't know if this is the same one (can't download at work), but I found this traditional song:

(take out the space)

Not entirely sure. It might be from Graffin's college days at UCLA, as I believe he said that's where some of those songs were recorded.

Yeah it does a bit. Where does that song come from?

Footprints has a Lovely Ohio feel to it.

well this is great, never expected Graffin demos/outtakes/alternates etc. And alMacs version of CatC (the song) is different from the other outtake, so there is at least another group (3 songs) of material floating around out there.

to whomever leaked, please share the rest!!!

excellent! thanks so much!

Here's the full unmastered album: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TMKYHVR7

The names of the songs on the CD - rather than the box - are actually the same, save "Little Salie", which is an interesting typo. I'll ask about New Chapter, but as it wasn't released on promo CDs I doubt there's even a definitive final version available :(.

Wow, thanks for sharing this. Been wondering for about a year if we'd ever see this.

Your friend wouldn't also happen to have an unmastered version of New Maps of Hell that has New Chapter on it, would he? *faintly hopes*

oops, i thought we were still talking about cold as the clay....oh well, time to get some sleep i guess :S

UNTRUE!! From the liner notes:
Don't Be Afraid To Run, Cold as the Clay, Highway, Rebel's Goodbye, and The Watchmaker's Dial written by Greg Graffin, Polypterus Music, BMI, 2006. Omie Wise, Little Sadie, Talk About Suffering, Willie Moore, and one more hill are traditional songs with many versions and unknown writers.

Too bad. I had always heard this was suppose to be a Greg original. Damn Internet rumors.

Thanks soo much almac, and some guy this is a folk standard just google the name and you'll find plenty of links.

Sounds like it's a folk standard rather than a Greg original, but it's still cool to hear it.

yes thanks a ton! any chance of sharing the whole disc?

Awesome. Thanks dude.

Yup, it's Graffin's version. I got it off a "Cold as the Clay (unmastered)" CD which a friend of mine requested from Anti-. I have no idea how he asked or under what guise. Anyway, it's unmastered and, on the CD, some of the tracks have slightly different names: E.g. "Highway of Denial", "Afraid to Run" and "The Rebel's Goodbye". Also, tracks 8-11 are in a different order.

So here it is, Footprints in the Snow:

THANKS!!!
yes is it the graffin version or another, and do you have any other unreleased graffin?

THank you soooooo much almac. Seriously that is sooo cool.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did you get it? if you can answer i understand.

I have footprints in the snow. I'll upload it after Match of the Day. I.e. later tonight.

Oh yes, I can hear the difference now. prefer it with Jolie :)

pretty cool find, but i like the OG better

the chorus

To be honest I can't hear the slightest bit of difference. At what point does she sing?

@ StevenF Footprints in snow(I think that was the name) was kind of like new chapter, it was suppose to be released with catc but it didn't.

Urmm footprints in snow? Wow this is interesting.. though I like jolie holland alot :P

I like this version of the song much much better.

yesteraeon, second3d.

Track comes into iTunes as track #1 of 4. are there 3 other tracks like this available? Maybe the electric version of Highway??? PLEASE SHARE!

I think I may have listened to that album too many times. The first time I listened to this leak I could still here Jolie's vocals in my head. :S

Wow, how did this get out?

This was kind of random, but very nice. I really wish Footprints in snow would get leaked ( I think that was the name)

What's wrong with Jolie Holland's vocals?
