Cinnamon Girl Cover Contest

cinnamon-girl-cover.jpg

American Laundromat Records and Daisy Rock Guitars are co-sponsoring a contest inviting female artists and female-fronted bands to submit a cover version of Neil Young’s "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" to win a Daisy Rock guitar, consideration for an official Daisy Rock endorsement, and a guaranteed slot on the upcoming American Laundromat Records benefit CD Cinnamon Girl - Women Artists Cover Neil Young.

Joe Spadaro of American Laundromat Records says:
"Neil Young is a true original and we wanted to celebrate his music and introduce younger music fans to Neil's early work. Having women artists cover Young's classic songs puts a cool spin on the traditional tribute record, and also honors the strength and courage of women who have had or have breast cancer."


All proceeds from the Cinnamon Girl project will be donated to Casting For Recovery, a national non-profit support and educational program for women who have or have had breast cancer. Tanya Donelly, Jill Sobule, The Watson Twins, Kristin Hersh, Lori McKenna, Josie Cotton, and Britta Phillips are just some of the outstanding female artists covering Neil Young for the Cinnamon Girl benefit CD due out October 3, 2007.

What a wonderful benefit CD. I hope they raise a lot of money. My mom had breast cancer so this is something I can get behind 100%. Lori McKenna is a major talent. I wonder what song she's doing? Tanya Donelly too for the matter. Belly was an amazing band.
