Chimes of Freedom a newly recorded 75 song album will be released in January and is jampacked with superstar cover versions of Dylan songs saluting Amnesty International’s 50th Anniversary and Life-Saving Human Rights Work.

Chimes of Freedom features a stellar and diverse group of artists across the generational and musical spectrum. The performers, including many of Amnesty International’s longtime supporters, range in age from teenage pop star Miley Cyrus, 19, to folk music legend Pete Seeger, who, at 92, records Dylan’s poignant “Forever Young,” with a children’s chorus.

Other performers on the album are a who's who of music including Adele, Elvis Costello, Queens Of The Stone Age, Patti Smith, Pete Townshend, Lucinda Williams, Bad Religion and of course Joan Baez plus many more.

Through Chimes of Freedom, Amnesty International seeks to enlist support for its fight against censorship and attacks on free speech – whether involving artists, writers, musicians, political activists or bloggers. In this campaign, Amnesty is fighting for people such as the imprisoned Nobel Prize winner Liu Xiaobo in China, a scholar and human rights defender imprisoned since 2009 for writing about corruption and criticizing China’s political system. In addition to purchasing the album at www.amnestyusa.org/chimes, supporters will find actions they can take to help individuals whose freedom of expression is under threat.
