Uniting behind worthy causes is a time-honored tradition in the music community, and Kevin Moyer has worked with Portland, Oregon-based charity Outside In to put together one hell of an opportunity to do so.
Back in 2003, Moyer came up with the seed for a very interesting idea - matching up street musicians with established bands and artists to convey the story of life on the streets - that grew into the compilation album Live from Nowhere Near You: Volume 1.
Eight years later, Volume 2 of the series has now been released via Greyday Records, and, as Pitchfork reports, is also streaming in full over at Under The Radar. The new volume features a literal who's who of awesome nostalgic musicians: Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Corin Tucker (formerly of Sleater-Kinney), and more. And in terms of icing on the cake, the compilation also features an unreleased version of Daniel Johnston's classic "Grievances" AND an unreleased Elliott Smith track, "The Real Estate."
All proceeds go toward Outside In, a nonprofit organization focused on helping homeless youth and otherwise marginalized people, so if you like what you hear definitely pick up this compilation. Check out the full track list after the jump.
