The reissue includes a previously-unreleased version of "What's Your Name" and two songs that were deleted from the original album -- "Sweet Little Missy" and "Georgia Peaches."

"Jason and I feel incredibly lucky to have such amazing family and friends to share this wonderful moment with." The Wreckers, the duo that also features singer-songwriter Michelle Branch, hit No. 1 in 2006 with their debut single, "Leave the Pieces."
