My Morning Jacket and Modest Mouse share new cover songs for two upcoming Neil Young tribute albums. The albums, part of the “Heart of Gold” series, are “Vol. 2 – Out of the Blue” and “Vol. 3 – Into the Black.” The releases are scheduled for November 6, following last year’s “Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young Volume I.”
Both outlets report that additional artists contribute tracks to the series. Stereogum notes earlier previews from King Princess (“Helpless”) and Jaco Rosa (“After The Gold Rush”), with the latest announcements expanding the setlist. Consequence similarly highlights that the November 6 releases include new covers not only from My Morning Jacket and Modest Mouse, but also from King Princess and MJ Lenderman, among others.
The releases also tie into a charitable effort. Consequence states the tribute albums benefit The Bridge School. Across the sources, the main emphasis is on the shared rollout of new covers and the collective release date, with outlets differing mainly in the specific tracks and artists highlighted in their roundups.
