Music For Alabama
Birmingham-based musician and photographer Caleb Chancey decided that he needed to do something to help the people throughout his state in the wake of the devastating storms that tore through Alabama on April 27th this year.
Says Chancey, “I started asking myself what that could be. I could swing a hammer, but so could 1,000's of other amazing people who were already volunteering. Then I started asking what I was uniquely placed to do. I decided to write down a list of all my [musical] friends who I believed would want to give one of their songs away for charity. I composed an email with the subject, ‘Dear Friends, I need your help.' Their response is this compilation.”
Artists like Birmingham’s Jon Black, Nashville’s Matthew Perryman Jones, and Seattle-based Dan Phelps & Matt Chamberlain contributed to the effort. “This compilation is composed of both local and national artists,” emphasized Chancey. “I want this to be stressed, so that people can remember that we're all in this together. When our neighbors hurt, we hurt. They need us, so let's go.”
“The impact of these storms is incredibly hard to fathom. I drove around a place called Pratt City the day following. As far as you could see, there were cars lining the highway. Why? Because they had no place to go. No homes. No land. Nothing.”

Very interesting article. It’s funny how history can be twisted in so many different ways. These photos certainly give us clues, but I guess we’ll never know the true story. . . .

I could really make use of this time to check and ensure the game is as good as decribed on the introduction part in their review. But I do hope that I may encountered something related with specific technical requirements too. This could be fun.
