''Tribute To'' is an [[Extended play|EP]] by [[My Morning Jacket]] lead singer [[Jim James]] (under the [[pseudonym]] Yim Yames), consisting entirely of [[George Harrison]] covers. The album was released as a digital download via his website, on [[July 7|July 7th]], [[2009]]. The album will be released as a [[Compact disc|CD]] on [[August 4|August 4th]], [[2009]]. James recorded the album in November 2001, just days after Harrison's passing. Of the recording, James told [[Billboard Magazine]] that "I felt like I was in the weirdest head space when I did that EP... I felt really confused a lot of the time. I wanted to just do it and let it come out even if I messed stuff up. It's definitely not the tightest or most professional recording you're ever going to hear in your life but I like that. I think it lends it a more childish atmosphere."
