Album News: Be Yourself: A Tribute to Graham Nash's Songs for Beginners



On May 25th, Grassroots will be releasing a tribute album to Graham Nash's 1971 debut album. Nash was a member of the Hollies, and more famously Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, but his solo material is definitely worth checking out if you haven't heard it before. The album will be called Be Yourself: A Tribute to Graham Nash's Songs for Beginners, and features a whole host of splendid artists covering Nash's originals.

Bonny Prince Billy, Robin Pecknold (of Fleet Foxes) and Brendan Benson's takes on Nash should all be interesting. Here's the full tracklist.

01 Port O'Brien/Papercuts: "Military Madness"
02 Brendan Benson: "Better Days"
03 Nile Nash: "Wounded Bird"
04 Vetiver: "Used to Be a King"

06 Bonnie "Prince" Billy: "Simple Man (Hombre Sencillo)"
07 Moore Brothers: "Man in the Mirror"
08 Alela Diane: "There's Only One"
09 Mariee Sioux with Greg Weeks: "Sleep Song"
10 Sleepy Sun: "Chicago"
