Joanna Newsom Tribute Features M. Ward, Billy Bragg, Owen Pallett, More

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”
