My Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

This is one of the best compilations I own. There were A LOT of great musicians involved in the production of this record. Artists feature Iron & Wine, Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird, The National, Yeasayer, and many more. There are both covers and original songs, including a Blind Willie Johnson Cover performed by The Kronos Quartet, a Vashti Bunyan cover performed by Feist and Ben Gibbard, a Nick Drake song performed by The Books and Jose Gonzales, and more. All of the artists included on this record are top notch and they all do what they do best, make bangin' music. On top of that, this album has outstanding production value studio-wise and was produced by Aaron and Bryce Dessner from The National.

Also, this album benefits HIV/AIDS awareness because it was released by Red Hot Organization, which is apparently an HIV/AIDS awareness charity I guess? Regardless, if you have the money buy this album for a good cause. ...If not, download it here.
