In 1993, Nirvana broke the mold with MTV Unplugged in New York, a concert that surprised everyone and unveiled a different side of Kurt Cobain and his band.Stripped of amps and artifice, the group delivered raw, vulnerable rock-a true sonic confession that still resonates today. Thirty years later, this album remains a cornerstone of rock and a source of inspiration for countless musicians.To honor the 30th anniversary of MTV Unplugged from Nirvana, seven artists from the UK, US, and France (Current Joys, Camille Jansen, Brad Stank, Levitation Room, Casino Hearts, Chris Staples, and Far Caspian) have come together to reinterpret some of the album's most legendary tracks. Each artist brings their unique style and story to these songs while staying true to their original soul, reminding us how Nirvana captured the essence of a generation searching for meaning and authenticity.This tribute captures the raw emotion and energy of Unplugged, infused with a fresh, contemporary sensitivity brought to life by today's voices and sounds. It's an homage that doesn't aim to imitate but rather explores these tracks through a new lens, with honesty and creativity. This record is for longtime fans and those discovering Nirvana for the first time-a bridge between eras, connecting the timelessness of rock's past with it's present

Y&T Music is proud to announce the of a special tribute album, InchShine On A Tribute to Pete Ham, featuring 35 new recordings of songs written by the legendary founding member of the British rock band, Badfinger. All net profits will go to Mental Health America of Southeast Florida, the wonderful organization that is doing very important work in the field of mental health care and suicide prevention. The musicians who've come together to salute this lost genius chose the songs they wanted to cover, as Pete Ham, along with the legacy of Badfinger, continues to move and inspire every generation. InchThe more I learned about Badfinger,Inch says longtime Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers drummer Stan Lynch, who contributed to three of the Shine On tracks, Inchthe more upset it made me, because they were so rich with promise. It's not just a cautionary tale - it's truly heartbreaking.Inch As part of the Speaker Wars, with vocalist Jon Christopher Davis, Lynch turns InchNo Matter WhatInch - Badfinger's power pop anthem - into a gently swaying, country-rocking declaration of devotion. A second version of the song, with Davis and Indian vocalist Susmita Datta, re-imagines it as a psychedelic Hindustani dream. With ex-Georgia Satellite Dan Baird, Lynch put together The Chefs; the band contributed a raucous rave-up version of InchI Can't Take It,Inch one of the few full-tilt rave-ups in the Ham catalog.InchThat stuff was so infectious and fabulous, so obviously good,Inch Lynch says. InchI never saw them live, but at the time when you heard those songs, you knew they were a cut above. The vocals were just so emotional. They weren't showbiz. 'Day After Day' ripped my heart out.Inch That song, perhaps Pete's most indelible gift to the world, is interpreted on Shine On by singer-songwriter Shelby Lynne, who masterfully found the emotional core and gave it a searing soulfulness that
