If one had no teeth, saying "Jim James" would sound very much like "Yim Yames." You can try this at home, if you have any old folk about. Great  fun for all the family. Yim Yames is the name the My Morning Jacket frontman is going with for a George Harrison tribute EP, called Tribute To.

Tribute To will feature six Harrison songs. ‘Long, Long, Long’ and ‘Love You To’ are, of course, Harrison-penned Beatles songs, while ‘Behind That Locked Door’, ‘Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp’, ‘My Sweet Lord’ and the immensely serene ‘All Things Must Pass’ are songs from Harrison’s solo set.

Some of the proceeds from the sales of this EP will go to the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary, who, if you browse through the site, have a cow named Elvis.

Here's Harrison rocking an awesome beard and playing 'My Sweet Lord' in the legendary Concert for Bangladesh in 1971:
