QUOTE War Child is a charity that provides humanitarian assistance to children in war zones across the world. Its mission is "to place faith in the next generation." For the latest in its series of benefit compilation albums (see also 1995's Help and 2005's Help: A Day in the Life), War Child has echoed that mission. The concept behind Heroes is simple: Music legends handpick newer artists to cover one of their classic tunes. In the spirit of Bruce Springsteen getting the Hold Steady's Craig Finn (and a bunch of other people) to join him onstage for a rendition of "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" comes the Hold Steady's version of the Boss' "Atlantic City". Other contributions to the compilation include Beck doing Bob Dylan's "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat", Hot Chip's previously reported cover of Joy Division's "Transmission", Rufus Wainwright's medley of two tracks from Brian Wilson's Smile, Duffy's take on Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die", and the Kooks' cover of the Kinks' "Victoria". Heroes' full tracklist has yet to be announced, but we also can look forward to covers of songs by David Bowie and the Clash. Astralwerks will release Heroes on November 25 in the U.S., while Parlophone will put it out the day before in the UK. I think it's awesome Dylan picked Beck to cover his song. -------------------- ![]() |

When I heard it live for the first time, I got into it, but it didn't have as strong of a beat and it wasn't as clearly sung, so I'm super impressed by it now.
