Miley Cyrus to appear on Bob Dylan tribute album by Amnesty International

Can you say “Bob Dylannah Montana?”

It is being reported 18-year-old pop singer, and former star of Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus has cut a track for the upcoming tribute CD Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of AMNESTY International, due out in early 2012. (CLICK HERE for more details about the release with a list of confirmed artists appearing on the album that includes Adele, My Morning Jacket, Sting, and Ke$ha.)

The announcement came via E! Chief News Correspondent Ken Baker who tweeted earlier today:

Just confirmed: @MileyCyrus has a NEW song out early 2012. It’s a Bob Dylan cover for Amnesty Intnl album. Can’t wait.

And then:

Regarding @MileyCyrus new song, I will tweet more deets about the project very soon…

Wow – Miley Cyrus is performing on a high-profile Bob Dylan tribute album!?! Released by Amnesty International!?! What in the world could she be singing? Here are a few slightly altered suggestions…

Absolutely Sweet Miley
Hannah Montangled Up In Blue
Pat Garrett and Billy Ray’s Kid
Million Mileys
Visions of Johannah Montana

In all seriousness, my vote is for the classic Bob Dylan dance track from his unheralded 1990 album Under the Red Sky. That’s right, I’m talkin’ ’bout “Wiggle, Wiggle” y’all!

UPDATE – Ken Baker has co-written an article for E! about the Miley Cyrus Dylan cover, but he still doesn’t reveal what the song is.

New Katy Perry Song “Futuristic Lover” leaked

I kissed a… Martian?

Another new song from Katy Perry’s upcoming second album has hit the internet! The song is called “Futuristic Lover” and it plays on an extraterrestrial metaphor with lines like “wanna be your victim, ready for abduction” and “you’re from a whole ‘nother world, a different dimension.” This seems to support my theory that Russell Brand is actually from another planet! I knew it!

Listen to the track and read the lyrics!

VIDEO Best Billie Holiday cover by Norwegian 7-year-old ever

ByAsa Hawks

I’m not sure how else to introduce this mind-blowing clip from Norway’s Got Talent other than to say a 7-year-old girl named Angelina Jordan (complete with missing front tooth) absolutely nails a cover of Billie Holiday’s version of “Gloomy Sunday,” a devastatingly dark song often referred to as “The Hungarian Suicide Song” because of an urban legend than many folks have killed themselves while listening to it.

Did I mention she’s 7?

A look back: Emmylou Harris and the Nash Ramblers ‘At the Ryman’ 20 years later

ByDarren O

What if I told you that a somewhat unheralded (chart wise anyways) release from 1992 would fall unquestionably under the title of my all time favorite live country music release? Not only that, but this release features covers only and is a completely acoustic affair. Well, this is exactly what I think of the unstoppable force that is Emmylou Harris and The Nash Ramblers At the Ryman. Take a detailed look back at an underappreciated live giant in the genre of country; a release and artist heralded for reviving The Mother Church of Country Music for which the album garnishes its name.
