Let's face it, Bob Dylan tributes aren't exactly uncommon. That said, one of the most ambitious albums of its kind is coming down the pike, set for January 24 release. Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan is a specially-priced 4-CD set containing 73 Dylan songs in renditions from an incredibly broad array of artists. Most of the tracks were recorded specifically for this project, but since a handful are previously unreleased tracks of an older vintage (and Dylan's own 1964 released take of "Chimes of Freedom," appropriately enough, closes out the set), we felt that coverage of this set was warranted here.

Chimes of Freedom is produced by Jeff Ayeroff and Julie Yannatta, who were also responsible for 2007's Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. That 2-CD set brought together artists like U2, R.E.M., Green Day, The Flaming Lips and Jackson Browne on a selection of John Lennon songs. This set features a similarly eclectic roster of musicians and a comparably broad scope. Many favorites here at Second Disc HQ have made a contribution to Chimes of Freedom: the late Johnny Cash, plus the very-much-alive Patti Smith, Pete Townshend, Sting, Elvis Costello and Carly Simon, to name a few. Miley Cyrus is the youngest performer on the collection at 19, and the Hannah Montana star offers "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go." The oldest act on the line-up is none other than Pete Seeger, who could be describing himself at the age of 92 with Dylan's "Forever Young." It's difficult to single out notable artists on a compilartion featuring so many. Kris Kristofferson offers "The Mighty Quinn," Diana Krall brings her sensual touch to "Simple Twist of Fate" and Eric Burdon of the Animals tackles "Gotta Serve Somebody." The white-hot Adele is represented by a radio performance of "Make You Feel My Love." Ke$ha gets into the act with "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" and the frequent Philip Glass collaborators The Kronos Quartet performs the same song. Glee heartthrob Darren Criss does the honors for "New Morning." Seal and Jeff Beck are an unlikely pair on "Like a Rolling Stone," and bluesman Taj Mahal plays "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream." Even Dylan's old flame Joan Baez is here, with a live performance of "Seven Curses."

The album, of course, supports Amnesty International, entering its 50th year. In 1962, Amnesty International "evolved from a one-year campaign to free political prisoners into a worldwide movement fighting for justice, freedom and human dignity; today the organization has more than three million supporters in 150 countries," according to the press release. The songs of Dylan were selected, in part, for the celebration because Dylan started his own recording career in the same year.

All of the artists, musicians, arrangers, engineers, producers and studios worked pro bono for Amnesty International in the release of this collection. Bob Clearmountain and Gateway Mastering's Bob Ludwig and Adam Ayan are among the mixing and mastering engineers who contributed.

Though Chimes of Freedom will be distributed by Fontana to general retail, it is also available (with sound samples) at Amnesty's website for $24.99 or $19.99 for a digital download containing three additional tracks performed by Silverstein, Outernational and Daniel Bedingfield. The 4-CD set arrives on January 24 in the United States and on January 30 internationally. You'll find a pre-order link below!
