Rilo Kiley (album)
Rilo Kiley, also known as The Initial Friend EP, is an album released three different times by the band Rilo Kiley, first in 1999, then in 2000, and lastly in 2001. Each release shared several songs, but also included some new songs or rearrangements of the older songs. Combined together, they are the equivalent of a single album.
The first two albums do not list the composers of each song, but The Initial Friend EP lists Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennet as the composers of all the songs on the album, however, there are four songs not included on the EP that are on the previous albums. I presume that Jenny and Blake wrote those as well, but I can't confirm it.
I got a copy of these three albums combined onto a single CD from the friend who introduced me into the band. I believe it was already after I had purchased the first two studio albums. I loved the album right away, and, despite the album having the lowest production quality, I find it to have some of my favorite songs by the band.
