43 Songs for 43 U.S. Presidencies

CDs come packaged in a hardcover full-color book featuring original portraits of each US president accompanying the song lyrics. Rock balladeers Christian Kiefer, Matthew Gerken, and Jefferson Pitcher have performed a remarkable feat. They have composed and recorded 43 songs, one for each of the past and current presidents of these United States (take that, Sufjan!). Most songs were written as part of the 2007 RPM "Album in a Month" Challenge, but after the challenge ended they decided to finish the songs and sought out other artists to assist with the endeavor. Features members of Cake, Califone, Low, Red House Painters, Smog, Xiu Xiu, Charalambides, Wooden Wand and more.
