Naturally, a love for Neil Young.
Canadian artists have come together to make the ultimate Neil Young tribute compilation, and the finished product will hit the shelves on Oct. 16. There have been numerous Young tribute albums produced in past years, but none have had such a star-studded line-up of talent to lay down the famous tracks.
The two-disc compilation is appropriately titled “Borrowed Tunes” and features some of Young’s most celebrated hits. Songs like “Cinnamon Girl”, “Harvest”, and “Rockin in The Free World” will be performed by today’s top Canadian musicians.
Some of the proceeds from sales will be donated to Toronto’s Safehaven Project For Community Living that aids youth with speech difficulties as well as other physical disabilities. Bridge School, a facility co-founded by Pegi Young near San Francisco that focuses on helping children with related ailments, will also see some of the proceeds.
54-40, Tom Cochrane, Matt Mayes, Cuff the Duke, Jeremy Fisher, Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace and many more can also be heard on “Borrowed Tunes” Oct. 16.
