CHIMING IN: It isn’t surprising to find Jackson Browne, Lucinda Williams, Pete Townshend, Mark Knopfler, Patti Smith, Bryan Ferry, Neil Finn, Steve Earle, Tom Morello and Elvis Costello among the contributing artists. But how about Miley Cyrus doing “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go,” Ke$ha covering “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” Maroon 5 tackling “I Shall Be Released” or Evan Rachel Wood cooing “I’ll Have You Anytime”? We’re particularly looking forward to checking out the tracks from Raphael Saadiq (“Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat”), Brett Dennen (“You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere”), The Belle Brigade (“No Time to Think”), My Morning Jacket (“You’re a Big Girl Now”), Diana Krall (“Simple Twist of Fate”), Paul Rodgers and Nils Lofgren (“Abandoned Love”) and The Airborne Toxic Event (“Boots of Spanish Leather”).
