Pete Seeger, Adele, Sinead O'Connor on Amnesty International album of Bob Dylan songs
THE NOBEL Peace Prize-winning Amnesty International are honoured in a
new four CD box set 'Chimes Of Freedom: The Songs Of Bob Dylan Honoring 50
Years Of Amnesty International'. The 80 performers on the project
range in age from pop star Miley Cyrus, 19, to folk music legend Pete
Seeger, who, at 92, recorded Dylan's poignant "Forever Young" with a
children's chorus. Other notable performers are Ziggy Marley ("Blowin'
In The Wind"), Adele ("Make You Feel My Love"), Lenny Kravitz ("Rainy
Day Woman # 12 & 35″), Carly Simon ("Just Like A
Woman"), Sinéad O'Connor ("Property Of Jesus") and Eric Burdon
("Gotta Serve Somebody"). The project was produced by Jeff Ayeroff and
Julie Yannatta, who said, "This album is a powerful fusion of the
music community's respect for Amnesty's life-affirming work and for Bob Dylan's enduring
brilliance. We are proud to have worked with Amnesty to produce this
remarkable project."
