Thom Yorke, Michael Stipe, The National, Frank Black, Many More Unite for Mark Mulcahy Tribute

They say it takes a village to raise a child. But in this case, it takes about 40 musicians to help raise two children. In September 2008, the wife of former Miracle Legion frontman Mark Mulcahy passed away suddenly. Various members of the musical community have come together to record Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy, the proceeds of which will help Mulcahy continue his career while raising his three-year-old twin daughters.

The album will be released by Shout! Factory and feature artists such as Thom Yorke, Michael Stipe, The National, Vic Chesnutt and Dinosaur Jr. covering Mulcahy tunes. In addition to the 21-track tribute hitting stores Sept. 29, an additional 20 songs will be available online. Benefit concert events in London and New York are also being planned.
