Liz Phair is also a fan, so much so that she asked Yorn to help with her upcoming An Evening With, scheduled for late summer. “I felt like he voiced the male persona I would most like to Scotch tape over my current boyfriend,” she says. Though Yorn’s role isn’t as extensive as has been reported — he played on some tracks Phair cut with (R. Walt) Vincent but isn’t producing the record (Michael Penn is) — Phair enlisted him to serve as “an inspiration and a challenge because he’s sort of a songwriter whose style is like my own. He was just starting out with all this fire. I felt competitive, and it made me want to kick some ass.”
