Songs Inspired by Literature is a new CD from the SIBL Project, a non-profit that promotes and supports adult literacy programs.
 
The CD features tracks by sixteen artists, known and unknown -- including Bruce Springsteen, Aimee Mann, Suzanne Vega, Grace Slick and Ray Manzarek. Each of the songs was inspired by a book, poem or play.
 
I provided the vocal percussion for "7th Step," the contribution from SIBL founder Deborah Pardes, who was inspired by Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes. Take a listen:
 

Deborah Pardes: 7th Step

Here's how you can support the SIBL Project:

• Buy the CD online at CDBaby.
• Sell the CD at your store, library or organization.
• Donate to the Project and get the CD as a gift.
• Come to the Launch Party this Tuesday, Mar 12.

Over 44 million American adults can't read above the 5th grade level -- they can't read to their children, fill out a job application, or pass a written driver’s test.
 
All proceeds from the CD benefit adult literacy programs.
So what are you waiting for?
