On Louisiana Mourning, Jordan picks up his guitar and strums gentle acoustic chords in dedication to his friend, the late Charles Wesley Cooper, one half of Telefon Tel Aviv, who sadly passed away in January of 2009. Born and raised in Louisiana, Charlie’s death had a massive impact on the music scene, and in particular the Chicago community. Lousiana Mourning reflects the feelings expressed by Jordan during the eulogy of his lost friend, and serves as a timeless memorial of his short and fruitful life. This is as sad as it sounds. Some beautiful string work on here by Chihsuan Yang and Greg Hirte.
