Between the Covers Benefit Album
Madonna, Clapton, Keys, Kravitz, Jagger, Bowie, McLachlan, Crow and more slip Between the Covers for a Benefit Album
An all-star lineup of contemporary musicians are slipping Between The Covers for the release of a benefit album, a compilation of cover versions of some of the greatest songs of this generation. Proceeds from the album will go to benefit the T.J. Martell Foundation, which supports cancer, leukemia, and AIDS research.
The album, entitled Between The Covers, features something for everyone. Selections include Sheryl Crow's hit rendition of "The First Cut Is The Deepest," Alicia Keys' take on "If I Was Your Woman/Walk On By," Eric Clapton's unforgettable unplugged version of "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," the Dixie Chicks' stirring version of "Landslide," Madonna's hit remake of "American Pie," Norah Jones' cover of "Cold, Cold Heart," Sarah McLachlan's moving take on "Ol' 55," and Lenny Kravitz' rockin' version of "American Woman." The album will also feature David Bowie and Mick Jagger, as well as The Bacon Brothers (actor/director Kevin Bacon and his brother Michael) performing their rendition of the Beatles' "If I Needed Someone," which they recorded just for this project. The Bacon Brothers will also host a half-hour special about the project that will air on the VH1 and Logo networks.
