Lucinda Williams, Bruce Hornsby, Shelby Lynne, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rachael Yamagata, Los Lobos, Rickie Lee Jones, John Oates, Cowboy Junkies, Rocco DeLuca and Others Record Heartfelt Musical Tribute To A Special Era - The Village Of The '60's SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 3
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- 429 Records has brought together a stellar roster of artists for a project titled "THE VILLAGE: A CELEBRATION OF THE MUSIC OF GREENWICH VILLAGE"--a musical homage to an influential scene that thrived during an incomparable era in the history of rock music. The Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City in the 1960s was ground zero for a musical, political and social evolution -- McCarthy and the Red Scare era was over, the Vietnam War was simmering and poised to explode, and the civil rights movement was gaining steam just as singers like Peter Seeger, Bob Dylan and Odetta were hanging out and composing fierce and fearless songs that reflected the social conscience of a generation. The neighborhood was symbolic of a shared inspiration with artists worldwide gravitating to the vibrant streets and clubs and as such helped change the course of popular music. With THE VILLAGE, modern day artists look back and pay tribute to the artists and songs that helped nurture and shape them as successful musicians in their own right. Shelby Lynne gives a musical shout out to Dylan with her version of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright," John Oates pays tribute to an important era in his own musical development with a heartfelt rendition of "He Was A Friend of Mine," Cowboy Junkies perform their heartbreaking version of Tim Buckley's "Once I Was," and Bruce Hornsby checks in with a stunning version of The Lovin' Spoonful's "Darlin' Be Home Soon." THE VILLAGE: A CELEBRATION OF THE MUSIC OF GREENWICH VILLAGE will be released worldwide today on 429 Records.
