Album Description
Two CD set. Songs for Tibet - The Art of Peace Music Project. Proceeds that the Art Of Peace Foundation receives goes to peace related projects. As a show of solidarity with the Dalai Lama and Tibet, 20 artists have come together to release this historic double album on the eve of the Beijing Olympics. These recordings - some original for the project and some acoustically driven recordings of previously released songs - express our common vulnerabilities and experiences in pursuing happiness, peace and freedom. Collectively, these tracks represent a heartfelt message of support for the path of compassion and non-violence championed by the Dalai Lama. Begun in May of 2008 and completed in two months, the outpouring of support from all corners of the world was unparalleled. Funds raised from the album will go to support peace initiatives and Tibetan cultural preservation projects important to the Dalai Lama.

Summary: I REALLY wanted it have more new stuff... 2008-11-02
Comment: I really wanted to give this CD a higher review...REALLY! The cause is freaking great! I sooooo support correcting the situation that Tibet is in right now and I am all about encouraging peace (I swear I am not a hippy). And this CD is FILLED with a bunch of my favorite artists...So where could it go wrong? I was foaming at the mouth for it to come out. Well...The cause is great and the artists are great (at least to me), but honestly this is a review of the content and on that, I was only marginally happy. First, just about all of it was remakes of other songs that the artists had done...They couldn't write something new for this CD? What's up with that! And in almost every case the remake was actually less appealing (again, at least to me) than the original. So with great sadness I give this CD a three. It's NOT *bad*...But if you already have love these artists and have their CDs, don't expect to get anything new.

Summary: This is a healing album 2008-10-20
Comment: The songs donated (or picked) for this collection offer a message of peace and healing. Songs for Tibet isn't just for Tibet, but for all of us.
I found this album was compelling, refreshing, and a nice break from the craziness going on right now - yet without escaping it either. The songs delivered personal messages that affirmed individual worth, everyone counts, our strengths, beliefs, need for compassion and of course, freedom. I felt reminded of my best and the place where decisions need to come from. That was very healing to hear again.
This cd is for the world and I can understand why this release skyrocketed to #1 album on ITunes. I originally dismissed it because I thought Songs For Tibet would be contrived, popish and boring. But the songs are new or unique to this release, the songwritting/singing is genuine and heartfelt. There wasn't any "bling", phony beats, or overkill based on a marketing wet dream. What a refreshing change.
Instead, the songs were presented very minimally and simply. Each one had a purpose for being included on the album and every song was essential for the entire concept. Wow. The songs had to be great for that to work. There is inspiring talent on this album.
Many people have experienced hard times, or realized things aren't what they thought this last decade. That's where Songs for Tibet comes in. The album was a reminder for me of individual strengths and restored some hope for choosing to live in peace; in a place where everyone counts and no one is forgotten, sacrificed or left behind. I haven't heard that for a long time.
I can see where countries like China would have objections to achieving goals using individual expression, and probably why the album got banned. My original reason for getting this cd was because of that ban. I am so glad I did now.
So, thank you China.

Summary: Good Karma! Great Compilation! Great Cause! 2008-10-15
Comment: This is an up album! I wouldn't have bought most of these artists individually but as a compilation it's great! Most of the songs are first rate - 4s and 5s. I even like the Dave Matthews track although I'm not generally a fan. Buy it, you'll like it... Ommmmm!
