Amnesty International have premiered the video for We Are Augustines‘ cover of the classic Bob Dylan track ‘Mama, You Been On My Mind‘, which features on the ‘Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honouring 50 Years of Amnesty International‘ charity album.
The album also comprises covers from the likes of Pete Townshend, Patti Smith, Sting, Queens of the Stone Age and My Morning Jacket, with Eric Sanderson of We Are Augustines commenting: “When the opportunity came to be a part of the compilation, this one came out as a natural choice. It was a challenge but also something meaningful.”
“This means is a huge deal to the band, please join us in supporting Amnesty International and their tireless efforts for human rights around the world,” Billy McCarthy has added.
