A two-CD tribute to Bruce Springsteen, ‘Light of Day’, is set to be released on Schoolhouse Records on 2 Sep in aid of the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation and the Kristen Ann Carr Fund.
The album will include Springsteen covers by Elvis Costello, Pete Yorn, Graham Parker, Garland Jeffreys, Jason Ringenberg, Elliott Murphy, Dion, Nils Lofgren, Matthew Ryan, Billy Bragg, Gary Lucas’ Gods and Monsters, Willie Nile, Patty Griffin, Jesse Malin and Joe Ely, among others.
The Kristen Ann Carr Fund is named after the late daughter of Springsteen management’s Barbara Carr and rock writer Dave Marsh. She passed away in January 1993 from a very rare tumor that strikes teenagers and young adults.
