The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache (full title The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache [And Other Frightening Tales...]) is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter and musician Jason Reeves. The album was self-released in 2007 on the label abeautifularmyoftrees in the United States and later was re-released under Warner Bros. Records on July 31, 2008.[1] Recording and production for the album took place during 2006 and 2007 at the Revolver recording studio in Westlake Village, CA with producer Mikal Blue, as well as at The Backyard Studios with producer Stuart Brawley.

Background

Production for The Magnificent Adventures Of Heartache began in 2006 and 2007 after Reeves's first EP with Mikal Blue, Hearts Are Magnets, and around the time that Reeves was working on material with Colbie Caillat for her first album, Coco. The album was again recorded with producer Mikal Blue[2] at his Revolver recording studio and Reeves self-released the album in 2007. He promoted the album through his myspace page and sold it at live shows and through online stores such as cdbaby.com.[3] The release gained Reeves distinctions such as "Top Folk Album of 2007" from iTunes and "No. 1 Unsigned Folk Artist" on myspace.[3]

The album helped Reeves sign a deal with Warner Bros. Records in 2008 that lead to the major label re-release of the album. This version of the album (which included four remixed tracks) was released in stores and online on September 9, 2008.[1]
