Model Christy Turlington Burns is teaming with Starbucks to release Every Mother Counts 2012, the second album to benefit the organization she founded of the same name. Every Mother Counts is an awareness and mobilization campaign to reduce the maternal mortality rate on a global scale.

The new collection, available at Starbucks exclusively from May 1st to May 29th to celebrate Mother´s Day, features a slew of A-list acts, including David Bowie, Sting, Faith Hill and Lauryn Hill. In addition, there are several previously unreleased tracks, highlighted by Coldplay´s acoustic ´Yellow,´ Bono and the Edge´s acoustic ´Original of the Species,´ Eddie Vedder´s ´Skipping´ and husband-and-wife team Paul Simon and Edie Brickell teaming on ´Pretty Day.´

Thanks Ans for finding this. Looking forward to hearing it too Carol. Hopefully we might get the long awaited Edie/Paul album this year. Loved the review of SBOSW in the second article too.

Does anyone know if pretty day is an original or a cover?

Pesimistic me:
To me it sounds like the album has been reduced to 1 song... why else would you release 1 song from an ´forthcoming´ album as part of a collection?

you may be right Bodo. but didn´t he release QFTA on a starbucks compilation album at least a year prior to SBOSW? This may even be a positive sign. don´t give up hope!

Joey recently posted on AMPS that Luke Bulla was in the recording studio in Nashville on the 26 Feb with Paul and Edie ,along with Jerry Douglas and other musicians recording. This was on Luke´s FB page. Maybe a country album from one or both of them?

I somehow received QFTA (a in-progress version I guess), was that a download only?

This Better Be Good was available in Canada as well. I think the version of QftA was the same as on SBOSW. I´ve never checked one against the other (A-B listen or visual exam of the waveform) but they sound the same in my memory and they are about the same length.

They are different in a way. The SBOSW version has a few elements added into the mix that wasn´t in the original, but other than that it´s the same original recording with just a few slight additions to the texture.
