”Mary Had a Little Amp” benefit CD

Mary Had A Little Amp Features Children's Songs by Madonna, Dixie Chicks, R.E.M., Maroon 5, Dave Matthews, Bonnie Raitt and Others.
On October 5, Epic Records will release Mary Had A Little Amp, a special collection of songs children love performed by sixteen renowned artists. All proceeds from Mary Had A Little Amp will benefit People For the American Way's Project Kid Smart and People For the American Way Foundation's Start Smart America, projects working to ensure preschool education for all American children.
Featuring new takes on children's classics like a rare version of Graham Nash singing "Teach Your Children," the Dixie Chicks' new rendition of "Rainbow Connection," original songs by Moby and Rosanne Cash, contributions from Jack Johnson and Maroon 5, and unique collaborations between Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson and between Dave Matthews and Blue Man Group, Mary Had A Little Amp will be the perfect addition to any parent's, child's, or music-lover's collection.
"This CD is the result of the efforts of many artists and activists. We asked the Dixie Chicks to help us make preschool education a national priority and they stepped up to the plate. The Dixie Chicks' involvement in this project was enormously important to our outreach to other artists," says Project Kid Smart Director Julie Burton, explaining the origin of this unique CD compilation.
