This is the summer of the dueling Buddy Holly tribute albums. The previously released Rave On Buddy Holly featured Paul McCartney, Kid Rock and My Morning Jacket tipping their caps to the rock and roll legend. Now, Listen to Me: Buddy Hollyincludes another batch of all-stars taking on Holly’s classic songs.
The album, due September 6, includes artists such as Jackson Browne, Brian Wilson, Stevie Nicks, Ringo Starr, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, Pat Monahan of Train, Lyle Lovett, Natalie Merchant , Zooey Deschanel and others. The Listen to Me compilation is one part of a multi-media celebration of Holly’s life and work timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the Texas native’s birth (which is September 7).
In addition, proceeds from sales of the album will benefit many music-related charity groups, including The GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY camps and Artists’ House Music.
