The debut album from Jenny [Lewis] and Johnny [Rice], I’m Having Fun Now, won’t be released until August 31, but in the meantime, our favorite folk-rock couple have unveiled a 3-track, song-streaming widget in the image of a cassette, as well as the full LP tracklist, to make the prospect of pre-ordering the record even more tempting. (iTunes pre-orders come with bonus cut “The Highs and Lows of Being #1.”) What’s more, the pair opened for the great Levon Helm in Los Angeles this week — unveiling their tunes with a 5-piece backing band — and one lucky attendee captured some nice footage of the troupe jamming out to a new Jenny Lewis song, possibly dubbed “One of the Guys.” Check it out alongside the 11-song tracklist and (auto-playing) song widget below:
**Update: Motley Stew has a free MP3 of the song “Animal” that was cleared for sharing by the band.
