Andrew Bird and MMJ On Shel Silverstein Compilation

Beloved late writer/poet/songwriter Shel Silverstein is getting the cover treatment June 8 with the release of Twistable, Turnable Man: A Musical Tribute to the Songs of Shel Silverstein, a covers records of songs by Silverstein the songwriter. Silverstein was as accomplished and lighthearted a songwriter as he was a poet, with his most notable songs being given to other performers, including Dr. Hook’s “The Cover of the Rolling Stone,” and Johnny Cash’s memorable “A Boy Named Sue.” The tribute record will feature takes on Silverstein songs by Andrew Bird, My Morning Jacket (who contribute two), Decemberists side project Black Prairie, Dr. Dog, Lucinda Williams, Kris Kristofferson, and Black Francis and Joey Santiago of the Pixies. The compilation was produced by Bobby Bare, Jr. and Bobby Bare, Sr., both of whom worked with Silverstein. Pitchfork is streaming two tracks from Andrew Bird and MMJ right now.
