The Sound the Hare Heard is a 2006 compilation of mostly acoustic arrangements by a number of singer-songwriters, both well-known and relatively obscure. Kill Rock Stars founder Slim Moon was the driving force behind the album, but not all of the artists on the album are signed by Kill Rock Stars; rather, the uniting factor of the compilation is the singer-songwriter status of each artist and various connecting themes between the songs.
