Two iconic forces that have impacted the past 50 years \u2013 the life-saving human rights activism of Nobel Peace Prize-winning Amnesty International and the incomparable artistry of Bob Dylan \u2013 are being saluted by 80 musicians who contributed new or previously unreleased recordings to Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chimes of Freedom is Executive Produced by legendary music executive Jeff Ayeroff and Julie Yannatta, who spearheaded Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur \u2013 a 2007 collection of John Lennon solo compositions performed by major artists including U2, Green Day, and R.E.M.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chimes of Freedom features a stellar and diverse group of artists across the generational and musical spectrum. The performers, including many of Amnesty International\u2019s longtime supporters, range in age from teenage pop star Miley Cyrus, 19, to folk music legend Pete Seeger, who, at 92, records Dylan\u2019s poignant \u201cForever Young,\u201d with a children\u2019s chorus.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The diversity of the musicians and musical genres \u2013 from rock, rap, hip-hop to pop, folk, country, jazz and blues — attests to Amnesty\u2019s depth of support in the music community, the universal appeal of the core message of human rights, and the breadth of Dylan\u2019s impact on culture. Almost every track on the album is being released for sale for the first time*<\/a> \u2013 except for the title song, Dylan\u2019s original 1964 recording of \u201cChimes of Freedom.\u201d Seventy songs were recorded especially for this release \u2013 with the addition of a few previously unreleased recordings.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n “This album is a powerful fusion of the music community\u2019s respect for Amnesty\u2019s life-affirming work and for Bob Dylan\u2019s enduring brilliance,\u201d said Ayeroff and Yannatta.\u00a0 \u201cWe are proud to have worked with Amnesty to produce this remarkable project.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In 1962, Amnesty International evolved from a one-year campaign to free political prisoners into a worldwide movement fighting for justice, freedom and human dignity; today the organization has more than three million supporters in 150 countries.\u00a0 In March of that same year Bob Dylan\u2019s debut album was released, launching an unparalleled recording career. \u201cOver the half century, Dylan\u2019s art has explored and expressed the anguish and hope of the modern human condition,\u201d observed Sean Wilentz, the noted historian, in the album liner notes.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cBob Dylan\u2019s music endures because he so brilliantly captures\u00a0 our heartbreak, our joy, our frailty, our confusion, our courage and our struggles,\u201d said Karen Scott Amnesty International\u2019s Manager of Music Relations. \u201cHis words convey a depth of meaning that few artists can equal, inspiring us and always moving ahead of our expectations.\u00a0 We at Amnesty International are deeply grateful to this legendary musician and to all of the artists who have contributed to this project.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n All of the artists, session musicians, arrangers, engineers, producers and recording studios worked pro-bono to support the human rights cause. Almost 30 tracks on the album were mixed gratis by famed engineer Bob Clearmountain. Bob Ludwig and Adam Ayan of Gateway Mastering donated their mastering services. The album cover illustration is by Grammy Award winning artist Mick Haggerty. Eight tracks were produced or executive produced by Martin Lewis, who as co-creator\/producer in the 1970s of Amnesty’s ongoing “Secret\u00a0Policeman’s Ball” benefit series, instigated Amnesty’s outreach to rock musicians by recruiting and producing Pete Townshend, Sting, Eric Clapton, Jeff\u00a0Beck, Bob Geldof and others. Executive Producers for Amnesty International are Helen Garrett, director of special projects, and Karen Scott, manager of music relations. Through Chimes of Freedom, Amnesty International seeks to enlist support for its fight against censorship and attacks on free speech \u2013 whether involving artists, writers, musicians, political activists or bloggers. In this campaign, Amnesty is fighting for people such as the imprisoned Nobel Prize winner Liu Xiaobo in China, a scholar and human rights defender imprisoned since 2009 for writing about corruption and criticizing China\u2019s political system. In addition to purchasing the album at www.amnestyusa.org\/chimes<\/a>, supporters will find actions they can take to help individuals whose freedom of expression is under threat.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Tracklisting:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
