Back in 2009, we reported that Andrew Bird, My Morning Jacket, and others had recorded covers of classic Muppets songs for an album called Muppets Revisited. Now — in conjunction with the release of Disney’s new Muppets film — the project has finally come to fruition with a different title and a few more big names attached. Muppets: The Green Album arrives on August 23, complete with Bird’s take on Kermit favorite “Bein’ Green,” My Morning Jacket’s rendition of “Our World,” Sondre Lerche covering “Mr. Bassman,” a cut by Rachel Yamagata and more. Check out the tracklist here and preview Bird channeling Kermit the Frog via the live clip above. (He also sings the song in French!)
