7 Worlds Collide – The Sun Came Out

7 Worlds Collide - The Sun Came Out7 Worlds Collide – The Sun Came Out (Sony)

It should be enough to say that members of Crowded House, Wilco, The Smiths and Radiohead have come together to record an album. Anyone still on the fence should be swayed by the fact that the proceeds go to a charitable organization that fights poverty around the world with real solutions. Of course, that’s not enough.

Neil Finn originally launched this project as a 2001 live album, credited to Neil Finn and Friends. The original project featured Eddie Vedder, Johnny Marr, Ed O’Brien, Tim Finn, Sebastian Steinberg, Phil Selway, Lisa Germano, and Betchadupa (featuring Neil’s son Liam Finn). Eight years later, poverty remains and Finn has again called on some friends to help.

In case you haven’t heard about it, this is the project that Crowded House founder Neil Finn started to raise money for charity.

In addition to Marr and Tweedy, Wilco‘s Glenn Kotche, John Stirratt, and Pat Sansone play on most of the tracks. Radiohead‘s Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway contribute to several songs as well. Check out who plays and sings on each of 24 songs after the jump…

There’s a new promo for Neil Finn’s 7 Worlds Collide project that brought Jeff Tweedy and members of Wilco, Johnny Marr, members of Radiohead, and loads of other great musicians together to benefit OXFAM.

Great clips from the recording of the album, short tour, and off-hours shenanigans. Bask in the glory of Jeff Tweedy in a bathing suit.

Johnny Marr Joins Wilco for Radiohead Cover

2 Comments

I sometimes obsess over bands. Two of my heaviest obsessions were focused on The Smiths and Wilco. So, if I had been in the audience when Johnny Marr joined the members of Wilco, Liam Finn, and Radiohead‘s Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway on a cover of “Fake Plastic Trees” I may have pissed my pants and screamed like a little girl. Instead, I am watching the video in my office. Check it out.
