Adele, Sting i Ke$ha (?) na tributu albumu Boba Dylana / Adele, Sting and Ke$ha (?) To Be Featured On Bob Dylan Tribute Album


Bob Dylan je jedan od najuspešnijih i najuticajnijih muzičara svih vremena, a neke od najvećih muzičkih zvezda današnjice odaće mu počast tribute albumom koji će biti objavljen u dobrotvorne svrhe.
Na albumu će gostovati i Ke$ha, što je izazvalo negodovanje jednog dela publike, koja je obradila "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right". Ona je o ovom projektu rekla:
"Kada pomislite na mene, sigurno nećete pomisliti na Boba Dylana. Moja muzika je luđa od politike. Ali on je veoma inspiritivan - piše svoju muziku i misli to što kaže. I ja pišem svoju muziku i je***o mislim to što kažem".
Na albumu će se naći i i veoma uspešna obrada od Adele, "Make You Feel My Love" koja se nalazi na njenom albumu "19". Gosti na albumu biće, između ostalih, i Sting, My Morning Jacket, Rise Against, Patti Smith i Bad Relegion.
Ovaj album, pod nazivom "Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International", biće objavljen 21. novembra, a sva sredstva od prodaje biće uplaćena ovoj organizaciji koja se bori za ljudska prava.

Bob Dylan is one of the most successful and most influential artists ever and some of the biggest contemporary stars will pay their respects on an upcoming tribute charity album.
Ke$ha will also appear on this album, which already has some detractors. She covered "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right". About this project she says:
"When you think of me, you wouldn’t think of Bob Dylan. My music is more crazy than politics. But he’s a huge influence – he writes his own music and means what he says. I write my own music and I f***cking mean every word I sing.”
Adele will include her highly successful rendition of "Make You Feel My Love" which can already be heard on her album "19". The album will also feature covers by StingMy Morning JacketRise AgainstPatti Smith and Bad Relegion among others.

This album, titled "Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International", will be released on Nov 21 and all proceeds will be donated to this human rights group.
