Johnny Marr, Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway (the latter of which sings on this comp), Jeff Tweedy and some other Wilco members, and a slew of other indie luminaries are getting together to record The Sun Came Out, a compilation to benefit Oxfam International. Like its “competition”, Dark Was the Night (note the dueling titles – we doubt it’s a coincidence), this will be a two disc affair. Here’s a tracklist:
Disc One:
1. Too Blue
2. You Never Know
3. Little by Little
4. Learn to Crawl
5. Black Silk Ribbon
6. Girl, Make Your Own Mind Up
7. Run in the Dust
8. Red Wine Bottle
9. The Ties That Bind Us
10. Reptile
11. Bodhisattva Blues
12 What Could Have Been
Disc Two:
1. All Comedians Suffer
2. Duxton Blues
3. Hazel Black
4. Riding the Wave
5. The Witching Hour
6. Over And Done
7. Change of Heart
8. Don’t Forget Me
9. Long Time Gone
10. The Cobbler
11. 3 Worlds Collide
12. The Water
This will be the second compilation by this group, who first got together to bring you 7 Worlds Collide all the way back in 2001. The recent furor surrounding compilation albums makes the follow-up quite timely.
