[News] Bob Dylan Tribute Album: 'Chimes of Freedom' Tracklist Feat. QOTSA, My Morning Jacket, Pete Townshend & More
In celebration of Amnesty International's 50th Anniversary, a collection of Bob Dylan covers has been put together and is set for release in January on the 24th to be precise. The full tracklist has appeared and it's frikkin' crazy! Like good crazy and absurd crazy, you know?! It'll be a 72 track monster compiling 4 discs and a host of talent from the world of music. It also throws a few weird number sin but hey, you gotta take the good with the bad.
Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International will include covers from the likes of Queens of the Stone Age who take on "Outlaw Blues" from 1965's Bringing It All Back Home. My Morning Jacket tackle "You’re A Big Girl Now", Mariachi El Bronx add their fine acoustic goodness to "Love Sick". The Who’s Pete Townshend tackles the crooner number "Corrina, Corrina" and Cage the Elephant do "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll". Now, thrown into the mix we have Miley Cyrus covering Blood on the Tracks' "You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go". The one I really don't want to see covered in glitter and crap is "Don't Think Twice it's Alright" but that's been taken up by none other than Ke$ha. KE$SHA!? But still, this compilation will definitely be worth a listen. The full track listing of pure awesome can be found after the jump via CoS.
Jack White's Wife To Release Solo Album
JackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhite. We get it, Jack, You're up to a lot these days. Sheesh.
But isn't that why we love him?
NME is reporting that the one of the luckiest ladies in the universe, Jack White's wife Karen Elson, has announced details of her debut solo album, dropping May 27, courtesy of hubby's label Third Man Records.
Stating true to Jack White form of creepiness (see exhibits A and B that we should not speak of, love us Warner Bros!), the album will be titled The Ghost Who Walks.
Per NME's report:
"Elson is said to have written much of the record from inside a closet in her and White's Nashville bedroom."
Her studio band lineup was quite the dream team, too. Jack Lawrence (The Dead Weather) on bass, Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket) on pedal steel, Rachelle Garniez on accordion and vocals and Patti Smith's son, Jackson Smith (who is actually her bro-in-law), on guitar.
I am so coveting her life right now.
Be sure to check out the video above for a live acoustic version of the title track, "The Ghost Who Walks". We've also ripped the audio for you so that you don't have to sit on YouTube All day.
