Album Description: Two CD set. Songs for Tibet - The Art of Peace Music Project. Proceeds that the Art Of Peace Foundation receives goes to peace related projects. As a show of solidarity with the Dalai Lama and Tibet, 20 artists have come together to release this historic double album on the eve of the Beijing Olympics. These recordings - some original for the project and some acoustically driven recordings of previously released songs - express our common vulnerabilities and experiences in pursuing happiness, peace and freedom. Collectively, these tracks represent a heartfelt message of support for the path of compassion and non-violence championed by the Dalai Lama. Begun in May of 2008 and completed in two months, the outpouring of support from all corners of the world was unparalleled. Funds raised from the album will go to support peace initiatives and Tibetan cultural preservation projects important to the Dalai Lama.

Rating: - songs for tibet
many of the artist on this cd i would not normally listen to. but if you want to get an idea of how some of them sound AND help defend the freedom of a country and people, then this cd is a must. even if you just want to help you could give as a gift.
Rating: - I REALLY wanted it have more new stuff...
I really wanted to give this CD a higher review...REALLY! The cause is freaking great! I sooooo support correcting the situation that Tibet is in right now and I am all about encouraging peace (I swear I am not a hippy). And this CD is FILLED with a bunch of my favorite artists...So where could it go wrong? I was foaming at the mouth for it to come out. Well...The cause is great and the artists are great (at least to me), but honestly this is a review of the content and on that, I was only marginally happy. First, just about all of it was remakes of other songs that the artists had done...They ... Read More
Rating: - Art of Peace CD
Have only listened to it through one time, but loved it, great artists, great songs. Great Benefit.
Rating: - This is a healing album
The songs donated (or picked) for this collection offer a message of peace and healing. Songs for Tibet isn't just for Tibet, but for all of us.
I found this album was compelling, refreshing, and a nice break from the craziness going on right now - yet without escaping it either. The songs delivered personal messages that affirmed individual worth, everyone counts, our strengths, beliefs, need for compassion and of course, freedom. I felt reminded of my best and the place where decisions need to come from. That was very healing to hear again.
Rating: - Good Karma! Great Compilation! Great Cause!
This is an up album! I wouldn't have bought most of these artists individually but as a compilation it's great! Most of the songs are first rate - 4s and 5s. I even like the Dave Matthews track although I'm not generally a fan. Buy it, you'll like it... Ommmmm!
