Bono and The Edge go acoustic for charity

Bono and The Edge contribute an acoustic ‘Original Of The Species’ to Every Mother Counts 2012, a second compilation album that Christy Turlington’s titular charity is releasing in conjunction with Starbucks.
“I went to friends first, as I did with the first CD,” the supermodel tells Rolling Stone. "Bono and Chris Martin were great supporters of the project the first time around, and when I knew I wanted to include men on this album they were obvious choices. They are also both fathers to daughters. Others, such as Patti Smith and Rita Wilson, I've known for a long time, and some, like Edie Brickell and Paul Simon, I only met briefly but was a huge admirer. I generally wanted a diverse group of artists who were parents, or in the case of Edward Sharpe, who will be soon. We wanted to reach a broad audience on this issue with this particular project and with a range of perspectives.”
Other original contributions include Alanis Morissette’s ‘Magical Child’, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros’ ‘Mother’, the Electric Picnic-bound Patti Smith’s ‘Somalia’, Rufus Wainwright’s ‘Instead Of The Dead’ and Beck’s ‘Corrina, Corinna’, which is streaming at http://www.pitchfork.com/news/46260-listen-beck-covers-corrina-corrina
“Beck is one of my favorite artists and I was really moved by his choice in song, 'Corrina, Corrina’ which is a cover of a 1928 tune written by B. Chatman, M. Parish, and J. Mayo Williams,” Turlington enthuses. “I don't know the inspiration for the original song but I am so moved by Beck's version as he chose it with Every Mother Counts' mission to reduce maternal mortality in mind.”
