Natalie Merchant, Widespread Panic, Juliana Hatfield and Jorma Kaukonen and are among the artists contributing songs to the benefit CD Too Many Years: A Benefit for Clear Path International.
Formed five years ago, Clear Path is dedicated to aiding landmine and bomb victims in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Released in recognition of the thirtieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, Too Many Years — which takes its title from a Kaukonen song — will fund the organization’s mission to provide “direct medical and social services to the survivors and their families as well as equipment support to hospitals.”
The CD will be available for sale at cpi.org in early May, to follow the April 30th anniversary. Among the other artists contributing tracks are Philip Glass, the String Cheese Incident and the Samples.
