Kari-Anne
The Features
Well I saw her standing over by the record machine Just like all the others when she turned sixteen I’ve heard of seven wonders and I’ve ate sliced bread But nothing else compares to my Kari-Anne Well I’ve got a funny feeling And I’ve got a funny walk But when Kari-Anne comes over Oh, it’s not my fault! Oh, mother I’ve been waiting her for something new Waiting all my life to find a love that’s true I don’t expect the whole world to understand Cause nothing else compares to my Kari-Anne Well I’ve got a funny feeling And I’ve got a funny walk But when Kari-Anne comes over Oh, it’s not my fault! Under a pile of leaves, that's where I used to keep my love. Behind the warning sign that's where you once could find my love Well I’ve got a funny feeling And I’ve got a funny walk But when Kari-Anne comes over Oh, it’s not my fault! Oh, Kari-Anne!

In 1999, The Features recorded an album with producer Matt Mahaffey (Self) but the album never saw the light of day. The band regrouped and eventually signed to Universal Records, toured with Kings of Leon and found a healthy career of independent success but this album was never heard... until now!

The Mahaffey Sessions 1999 were sourced from the original ADAT tapes at Matt Mahaffey's studio and remastered for digital and vinyl by John Baldwin. Artwork was created by renowned artist Sam Smith based on the band's real equipment and the record was pressed in Smyrna, TN... as close to the bands hometown of Murfreesboro as you can get.
