According to Pitchfork, two new volumes of Neil Young tribute covers have been announced, along with two track releases from King Princess and Draco Rosa. The first tribute album, Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young, Vol. 1, was released in April of last year with notable covers by Fiona Apple, The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, and more.
King Princess and Rosa released their covers along with the announcement yesterday, singing Young’s “Helpless” and “After the Gold Rush” respectively. Rosa’s cover will appear on Volume 2, Out of the Blue, while King Princess’s will appear on Volume 3, Into the Black, both alongside eleven other tracks.
Proceeds from the albums will go to support California’s Bridge Schools. The school has been a long-time recipient of Young’s own advocacy, serving children with disabilities.
