Hear Music XM Radio Sessions Volume I
Hear
Music and XM Satellite Radio are committed to introducing
music fans to new and exciting sounds that they can't
find anywhere else, a shared mission that's led to this
first in a series of co-produced, in-studio recordings
of artists we love.
Here
are artists you've heard through the years, but never
quite like this. Tracy Chapman is a four-time GRAMMY
winner, Jewel has been a recurrent chart-topper since
she emerged a decade ago and Jason Mraz's star has been
on the rise since he debuted as a recording artist in
2002. We've captured the three at informal in-studio
sessions, where they revisited some of their favorites,
tossing in a choice cover here and there for good measure.
The lineup also boasts Australian jam-band-circuit faves
the John Butler Trio and British singer-songwriter James
Blunt, promising new faces we're confident you'll be
hearing from in the months and years ahead.

XM
SATELLITE RADIO AND STARBUCKS HEAR MUSIC TO LAUNCH NEW
CD SERIES
First
CD In The Series Debuts on August 3 And Features Exclusive,
New Recordings From Tracy Chapman, Jewel and Jason Mraz
Washington
D.C. , July 26, 2005 -- XM Satellite Radio (NASDAQ:
XMSR), the nation's leading satellite radio provider
with more than 4.4 million subscribers, and Starbucks
(NASDAQ: SBUX) Hear Music today announced that they
will further expand their relationship with the launch
of a new proprietary series of multi-artist music compilation
CDs. Co-produced by XM and Hear Music, the debut CD
in the series, Hear Music™ XM Radio Sessions, Vol.
1, features newly recorded, never-before-heard tracks
from both established and emerging artists. The CD will
be available exclusively at Starbucks Company-operated
locations in the U.S. and Canada and online at starbucks.com
beginning August 3, 2005.
Hear
Music™ XM Radio Sessions, Vol. 1 starts the series
with an impressive collection of exclusive, previously
unreleased tracks from a diverse group of artists. The
CD features new, alternate recordings of two original
songs apiece from acclaimed artists Tracy Chapman, Jewel
and Jason Mraz. In addition, all three singer-songwriters
contribute a cover song to the album, with Chapman interpreting
the Ben E. King classic "Stand By Me," Jewel
updating Nina Simone's "The Other Woman,"
and Mraz taking on Björk's "Unravel."
The disc also offers two songs apiece from up-and-coming
WEA artists James Blunt and the John Butler Trio.
Each
compilation in the series will feature exclusive tracks
culled from special sessions with a revolving roster
of established and emerging artists across a wide range
of genres. The project is reflective of XM and Starbucks
Hear Music's commitment to supporting emerging artists
and more deeply exploring the work of established acts.
"The
debut of our first CD, co-produced with our partner
Starbucks and their Hear Music group, is a significant
milestone for the XM-Starbucks relationship," said
XM Satellite Radio President and CEO Hugh Panero. "The
Hear Music™ XM Radio Sessions CD series offers
consumers another way to experience XM's great music
content, further extends the XM brand and provides additional
revenue opportunities."
"With
this new CD series, we are realizing the potential of
our alliance with XM Satellite Radio to create compelling,
exclusive content for Starbucks customers," said
Ken Lombard, president,
Starbucks
Entertainment. "We look forward to continuing to
collaborate with XM, the leading satellite radio provider,
to help transform the way music fans discover and acquire
music."
The
debut CD in the series, Hear Music™ XM Radio Sessions
Vol. 1, is being offered for $14.95 in the U.S. and
$18.95 in Canada.
The
Hear Music™ XM Radio Sessions CD series is the
latest project in a comprehensive content and marketing
alliance between XM Satellite Radio and Starbucks. In

75), one of 67 commercial-free XM music channels. The
