Dark Was The Night

Dark Was The Night is the latest release from the Red Hot Charity Organization. On February 17 their effort aims to increase awareness of AIDS and HIV came to fruition in the form of a double disc. I like what the Red Hot Organization is about, because they aren't proclaiming to be working on a miracle cure - I believe they work on the premise that AIDS is most definitely a preventable disease with the proper education. 20 years since its inception, the Red Hot Organization put out their 20th album - 31 tracks that include notable artists like Justin Vernon, Coner Oberst, Andrew Bird, Sufjan Stevens, Feist, Beirut - the list goes on, and they cover songs by Nick Drake and Bob Dylan.

I'm going out to buy this after streaming "Brackett, Wi" by Bon Iver, and the National's contribution, "Far Around The Bend". I can't even contemplate downloading this, if you do you have no soul! You can find both tracks at the Dark Was The Night website.
