Today is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, and that means one thing: Black Friday, the busiest, shopping day of the year. While that can make for a less than ideal shopping experience, indie record stores across the country have gotten together to help keep up the holiday cheer with Record Store Day Black Friday, offering unique recordings from some of your favorite artists, including Conor Oberst.

Oberst is on board this year with the release of a special, limited-edition 7" featuring two exclusive tracks recorded during the sessions for his 2014 Nonesuch Records debut album, Upside Down Mountain, that are unavailable anywhere else: "Standing on the Outside Looking In" and "Sugar Street." Rolling Stone said of Upside Down Mountain: "A sumptuous immersion in '70s California folk pop, it is the most immediately charming album he has ever made." The 7” single was cut by Jason Ward at Chicago Mastering Service and pressed at Record Industry in the Netherlands.

To pick up a copy of the 7" while supplies last, head to your local record store. To find a participating shop near you and to find out what other special releases are available this Record Store Day Black Friday, head to recordstoreday.com.

It was just announced that Conor Oberst will join the line-up for the all-star concert celebrating the life and songs of Emmylou Harris at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, in January. Before then, he performs in two special benefit shows: Holiday Cheer for FUV at the Beacon Theatre in New York City December 8, featuring label mate Natalie Merchant, among others; and the KCSN benefit show with Ryan Adams and David Gray at the Valley Performing Arts Center in Northridge, California, December 12.
