Lupe Fiasco, Slash, Peter Gabriel, And Others Team Up For Music For Relief

9:42 p.m. · January 19, 2010 · by Andrew Martin

Artists from across the spectrum teamed up for this Music For Relief project that puts all of its proceeds toward the Haitian relief effort. Every track on here is previously unreleased from the likes of Linkin Park, Dave Matthews Band, Peter Gabriel, Alanis Morissette, Slash, The All-American Rejects, Hoobastank, Kenna, Enrique Iglesias and Lupe Fiasco. Yeah, some of those names aren't entirely enticing but come on, it's for a damn good cause. And hearing Peter Gabriel cover David Bowie's "Heroes" is more than worth it -- well, to me, at least.

From the Music For Relief Web site:

In partnership with the United Nations Foundation, Habitat for Humanity and Dave Matthews Band's BAMA Works Haitian relief effort, Music for Relief is working to provide immediate aid with food, water, and emergency medical supplies, and long-term sustainable housing solutions for the people affected by this catastrophic natural disaster.
