Arriving next month, with all proceeds going to Oxfam, is the wonderfully titled (for Dylan fans, at least) Versions of Joanna, a 22-track tribute album featuring covers of our favorite singer/harpist’s tunes by M. Ward, Billy Bragg, Owen Pallett, Ben Sollee, This Is Deer Country, and many more. Other than the cover art and tracklist, details are a bit scarce, but two excellent previews are available in the form of previously recorded live takes: M. Ward’s version of “Sadie” (via Ünnecessary Ümlaut) and Bragg’s Voice Project contribution, “On a Good Day.” Enjoy both recordings below alongside the tracklist and cover art:
M. Ward – “Sadie” (Live) – MP3 Here
Billy Bragg – “On a Good Day”
