Voices of a Grassroots Movement

Kanye West, Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, Jackson Browne, John Legend, Dave Stewart. The list of prominent supporters of the President-elect, Barack Obama, is growing steadily. They will all appear on a new Obama-Compilation - a benefit album which proceeds are intended to cover the costs of Obama's election campaign.

The album "Yes We Can: Voices of a Grassroots Movement" will be available in stores on Nov 11, 2008. But you already have the chance to purchase this album at Barack Obama's official homepage.

The 18-track limited edition album is rounded out by songs from some of Obama’s favorite artists, including Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, Lionel Richie and Sheryl Crow.

Most of the songs on this album have been previously released - for example Stevie Wonder's classic "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" and John Mayer's "Waiting On the World to Change" - but a few songs are new, including John Legend's "Pride in the Name of Love" and "Promised Land", a song by Malik Yusef featuring Kanye West and Adam Levine of Maroon 5.

I found an interesting quote from the republican spokesman Tucker Bounds concerning this album: "It's ironic that on a day when the economy is in turmoil, Barack Obama fails to release an economic plan, but instead chooses a celebrity rock album."

However - this album is amazing and includes brilliant songs. I can only recommend it to everyone.

Keep in mind: It will be available in stores on Nov 11 and you can also order it online at Amazon.
