Phair, Adams contribute to Minnie Driver CD

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Liz Phair and Ryan Adams are among the guests on actress/musician Minnie Driver's second album, "Sea Stories."

The 12-track collection of songs penned by Driver will be released early this summer through indie label Rounder Records' Zoe imprint. Driver is planning an extensive tour to coincide with the release.

Adams' backing band the Cardinals, Wallflowers/Foo Fighters' keyboardist Rami Jaffee, Alanis Morissette collaborator Zac Rae and mixer Jim Scott will also be heard on the forthcoming record.

"Sea Song" is the follow-up to Driver's 2004 debut "My Pocket," which has sold a modest 35,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
