Paul Masvidal (CYNIC, DEATH) co-produced and played guitar on the four-song EP accompanying actor Jim Carrey’s first children’s book, How Roland Rolls,” Blabbermouth reports.
The tracks “Everything & Nothing”, “Hungry”, “I’m All Yours” and “Keep On Roland” feature the actor singing with his daughter, Jane.
A seven-minute video clip featuring footage of Masvidal working with Carrey in the recording studio can be seen below.
Released on September 24 and published by Some Kind Of Garden Media, How Roland Rolls is dedicated to Carrey’s 3-year-old grandson, Jackson, and features “cinematic” illustrations by Rob Nason (“Anastasia”, “Thumbelina”).
“I wrote How Roland Rolls specifically as a way for parents and grandparents to engage with the children in quality together-time,” Carrey wrote in a message on the picture book’s web site.
“Not only will the message of the story help them feel connected, worthwhile, and a part of something vast and grand … the very act of adults spending time simply to be with them, and only with them, will pay off in an experience of fulfillment that’s truly beyond compare.”
