A hella good listen!



What do you get when you have 40 top and upcoming artists donating their music for a hella good cause? A hella good listen!

1% for the Planet, who I've blogged about before, has just released a compilation of tunes where 100% of the proceeds from the sale go to help fund environmental non-profits. Included in the disc are fan favorites such as Jack Johnson, G. Love, Mason Jennings, Josh Ritter, Katie Herzig and my personal favorite... Brandi Carlile (singing a new unreleased tune!!!)

I picked it up yesterday early on amazon.com for $3.99, but apparently the cost of the compilation will be $10. You can find it on itunes, amazon, or select retail stores.

And, unlike other "save the world" music compilation cd's, this one happily isn't full of songs you'd never really want to listen to again. You know the type, songs about saving the whales and hugging trees don't exactly get top billing on my itunes playlists... but this one is full of acoustic chill worthy music. So, for 40 songs... it's worth a buy and a listen, over and over and over again.
