BONO has gone solo ... well, for one album anyway.
He is one of many artists on a new compilation called Rogue’s Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys. He does a version of Dying Sailor To His Shipmates.
The 43-track double album was conceived by GORE VERBINSKI, director of the forthcoming Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, with help from the film’s star, actor JOHNNY DEPP.
RUFUS WAINWRIGHT does Lowlands Away with his folk singer mother KATE McGARRIGLE, while JARVIS COCKER sings A Drop Of Nelson’s Blood.
ANTONY from ANTONY & THE JOHNSONS and ROXY MUSIC’s BRYAN FERRY do Lowlands Low.
The album, by Anti Records, is out on August 22
