Beck + War Child Comp

Beck covers Bob Dylan - Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat


‘War Child: Heroes’ is an unprecedented collaboration between music’s most heralded legends and the finest current artists.

We asked 15 ultimate icons to select a favourite song from their classic back catalogue and to nominate the new act they most trust to create a unique interpretation of that hand-picked track.

This album is the result: 15 exclusive and breath-taking cover versions.

The album will be released in the UK by Parlophone and internationally by EMI on February 16. In the USA it will be released by Astralwerks on February 24 and in Canada on Quebecor on March 3. - [warchild.org]
