Artists including Adele, Patti Smith and My Morning Jacket are to contribute covers to a new Bob Dylan compilation in aid of Amnesty International.
‘Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International‘ is set for release early next year, with all proceeds from sales going towards the charity.
UK chart sensation Adele’s cover of ‘Make You Feel My Love‘, which first appeared on her debut album ‘19‘, will be included, along with Ke$ha‘s take of ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright‘.
“When you think of me, you wouldn’t think of Bob Dylan,” Ke$ha has commented. “My music is more about the going crazy than politics. But he’s a huge influence – he write his own music and means what he says. I write my own music and I fucking mean every word I sing.”
Other acts due to feature on the record include Sting, The Dave Matthews Band and, hold your breath, Miley Cyrus.
