McCartney, Clapton, Avril, James Taylor, Maroon 5, Norah Jones, John Lennon Included in Aid Still Required CD
. ASR has enlisted the help of many of the world's favorite musicians to champion this forgotten issue, including Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Norah Jones, James Taylor, Sarah McLachlan, Maroon 5, John Lennon (estate), Avril Lavigne, Shawn Colvin, Phantom Planet, Ani DiFranco, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Ray Charles (estate), Hunter Payne and The Blind Boys of Alabama. "We've all seen it," says Bonnie Raitt. "Money pours in when a disaster first occurs. But then the world's attention turns to other matters and the real work of rebuilding goes underfunded. I'm involved with this project because it will help thousands restore their lives in a sustainable manner." The mission of ASR is to bring assistance to people and countries who have experienced the most terrible natural tragedies and humanitarian crises in recent years, but which have since left the forefront of people's minds. ASR's goal is to raise 1 million dollars through the sale of the album, with monies being used for alternative job training, disaster preparedness, and environmental sustainability � all dearly needed in the area. The compilation, entitled Aid Still Required, has been featured multiple times on iTunes. The Deluxe Edition of the CD is available for purchase exclusively at www.aidstillrequired.org. For those looking to participate more fully, the 'ASR Angel' program allows members to donate a minimum of $10 per month and receive the CD for free, shipping included. The monthly donation goes towards all the worthwhile causes that ASR supports which currently include the tsunami, Darfur and New Orleans. Preview and Purchase McCartney CDs |
