Along with the 14 original songs, YES! (DELUXE EDITION) now includes five unreleased tracks, all recorded live in 2014 at Mraz’s home studio, The Mranch, with album collaborators Raining Jane. These performances revisit some of the album’s most memorable songs, including “Love Someone,” “Hello, You Beautiful Thing,” and fan favorite “Long Drive.” The 2-LP set also includes a 12”x24” poster and new liner notes from Mraz. 

Originally released in 2014, YES! was produced by Mraz along with Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, First Aid Kit, Rilo Kiley) and recorded in rural Omaha, Nebraska and inland Oceanside, California. The album marked the first full-length collaboration between Mraz and indie-rock-folk band Raining Jane, who continue to tour with him as part of The Superband. The group – formed by Mai Bloomfield, Becky Gebhardt, Chaska Potter, and Mona Tavakoli – played a pivotal role in shaping the album’s acoustic sound and co-wrote much of the material with Mraz. 

Mraz says the creative collaboration with Raining Jane has always been rooted in friendship, respect, and a shared love for music. “We’ve been a constant yes since we met. We were always friends first, and still are. We love hearing what the other has to say and play.” He adds, “Yes is friendship. Yes is action. And now YES! is ten. To celebrate this ten-year milestone, we’ve placed the musicmakers on the front cover and extended the listening time with a few live recordings. We are so grateful for your time and attention – and for believing in YES!.”
