Badlands… gathers a collection of songs by artists inspired and influenced by this work. Artists participating in this project: Chrissie Hynde & Adam Seymour, Hank Williams III, Crooked Fingers, Los Lobos, Dar Williams, Deana Carter, Ani DiFranco, Son Volt, Ben Harper, Aimee Mann & Michael Penn, Johnny Cash, Raul Malo (of The Mavericks), and Damien Jurado and Rosie Thomas. A portion of the worldwide sales of this record will be donated to the Nobel Prize winning organization Medecins Sans Frontierer/Doctors Without Borders (www.msf.org)
