For the April issue of Esquire Magazine (on newsstands now), they asked five of their favorite musicians — Dierks Bentley, Charlie Mars, Bob Schneider, Griffin House, and Ben Kweller — to come to the Shack-Up Inn in Clarksdale, Mississippi, and take part in a two-day fashion shoot with world-famous photographer Danny Clinch. And to make things interesting, they also asked each of the musicians to take the Esquire Songwriting Challenge: write, perform, and record an original song with lyrics that include the phrase "Somewhere in Mississippi." For some of them, this became the title of their song and they used it time and again; for others, they used the phrase once before heading in another direction. The results are five songs as unique and entertaining as the men who created them.
Beginning today, they're making each musician's song available right HERE as a free download for one day only. They'll also debut exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of each guy performing his song. Here are the different download dates:
Dierks Bentley- today (3/29/10)
Charlie Mars- Tuesday (3/30/10)
Ben Kweller- Wednesday (3/31/10)
Griffin House- Thursday (4/1/10)
Bob Schneider- Friday (4/2/10)
