Did the mellow sounds of Lester crooning “Send Me On My Way” make you as sleepy as Jeff and Baby Clara in “Chuck vs. the Masquerade”? You’re in luck, Vik Sahay has posted the JEFFSTER! version of the song to listen to and download for posterity. Click here to access and read his accompanying note:
Hey you kinsfolk,
Firstly, I wanna say how unbelievably appreciative and flattered I am by your support. It means the absolute world to me, and shocks and surprises and moves me everytime i’m on here. And, so, while I’m usually very ferociously private about the inner workings of the process, I wanted to share with you the longer (but still raw) recorded version of last night’s song. Working on these tunes for the show is like having a little Japanese garden. I work with these great artists, Tim Jones , who is responsible for composing the ‘sound’ of Jeffster, the music, the ‘Jeff’ part, if you will, and Eugene Edwards, who helps guide my vocals (be they what they are…!), and, though vocally we want it to sound Lester-like, and not overly-refined, and instantaneous, thus doing very few singing takes, we still tinker with each song in an isolated, detailed way, raking the sand here, moving the baby Bonsai there. For me, it really balances out the broad strokes and fast pace shooting on the Chuck set. So, here it is…me singin the Rusted Root’s tune ‘Send Me On My Way’ via Jeffster. Many thanks to you all for being there, and enjoy…if ya can!
Thanks to lis for the head’s up!
he sounds fantastic! such a sweet note too!
Flippin Awesome!!! Instant iTunes favorite in my Chuck vs the Music playlist!
Maybe Krinsky can get a coach, too, so he can do some of his own instrumentation.
We Love You, Vic

So glad that Vik would do this! Great tune to listen to while I’m writing.
Wonderful. Thanks SO much for sharing! 😀
Thanks so much. Great fun. An instant CHUCK classic. Would love to add other Jeffster covers past and future to my Chuck favorites playlist.
Lovely song and his voice is just wonderful!
But is there any full recording of Jeffster’s performance for Leaving on a jetplane from Chuck vs. The Honeymooners ?
I agree. I was quietly impressed. His voice lends itself to the softer stylings of music such as this piece and “Leaving on a Jet Plane”. I hope that there is more to come on Chuck. Well Done!
I will totally buy a Jeffster! Greatest Hits album if they release one.
when Are they going to realease a album
What a beautiful note, and amazing singing voice, actually!
I LOVE this song, and Vik’s voice ! he did an amazing job !
If you want a Jeffster album join the facebook page (link on my name), it’s time to show NBC we want an OST Chuck or/and a Jeffster album !!! 🙂
I am for a Jeffster album with all the songs covered on Chuck to date, and a bonus disc of the Comic Con performances and the Blaze Of Glory music video. I’d buy it. Would you?
