John Cale is best known as the bassist and viola player with The Velvet Underground, but in retrospect it's a small part of his musical life. He's released a number of great solo albums, successful collaborations, and produced many of the early ground-breaking American punk LP's. This is from Cale's latest solo album.

Alejandro Escovedo got his start in a punk band called the Nuns in the mid '70s and went on to pioneer his own blend of folk, progressive country, roots rock and various Latin flavors. He collapsed following a show in 2003 and was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. This album is a benefit to raise money for his medical bills.

We think we've succeeded. There's a lot of music that makes us think about how Denmark looks and feels at that time of year."
