Claude says:The White Elephant Sessions captures Jars of Clay at a transitional moment in 1999—demos and alternate takes that strip away the polished radio sheen of their earlier work and let the songwriting breathe in rougher, more intimate arrangements. You kept returning to these versions between 2006 and 2011, especially Fly Farther and the demo takes, treating this collection less like a B-sides comp and more like a different conversation with songs you already knew.
