Hear Elliott Smith's 'Some Song,' from previously unreleased live album
Elliott Smith: Expanded 25th Anniversary Edition., featuring handwritten lyrics and two dozen previously unseen photographs by JJ Gonson, who also shot the album’s cover photo.
“I was around Elliott a lot, so he was very familiar with my camera, and you can see it in the way he looks, or doesn’t look, at the lens,” Gonson tells“Honestly, there are moments that I wonder why I have opened these files, because it is not easy to look at someone I was close to who is gone. I take photos because they are my way of making art, which I have to do.
“At KRS we follow the direction of Elliott’s family,” adds Kill Rock Stars founder Slim Moon. “They have always expressed a desire for us to honor his legacy by keeping the albums available, and by bringing his music to new generations of listeners. As the industry has changed, we’ve worked hard to make sure Elliott’s legacy is available for new fans to discover and old fans to re-discover.
“As the person who originally signed him to Kill Rock Stars, starting with the ‘Needle in the Hay’ single and this self-titled album, I am especially passionate about putting forward reminders of this phase of his career — his magic as a solo performer and as a writer of songs for simply guitar and voice with little or no accompaniment,” he continued. “I also really want him to be remembered for his humor, warmth and absurdist sense of irony.
