I am so digging this release. Some fine, fine performances here by a well assembled group of artists who are plying their trade for a worthy cause. It don't get any better that that!

The album is 10 album and 4 bonus tracks featuring artists such as The Wooden Sky, Strand of Oaks, Roadside Graves, Joe Pug, Juniper Tar, Trampled by Turtles…well the list goes on and is quite impressive for the indie, folky types.
So all this is essentially about the music, but this whole project and compilation came together to benefit Project Bread who’s aim is about “alleviating, preventing, and ultimately ending hunger in Massachusetts“.

In January 1982, holed up in his spare bedroom with nothing but an acoustic guitar, harmonica, and a 4-track cassette recorder, Bruce Springsteen recorded an American folk masterpiece. Now, 30 years later, a new generation of songwriters pay tribute to 'Nebraska'...

Thanks to all the people that helped make this project a reality - without your time, enthusiasm and support this wouldn't have been possible. In particular Steve Legare, Naseem Khuri, Pete Weiss, Kyle Matteson, Adam Sharp for help and guidance. And Mallory Brown, who put up with Nebraska playing on repeat for the past year and tolerated my nonstop talking about project for nearly as long.

And of course, a special thanks to all of the artists who dedicated so much time and effort to the project.
