Various Artists
Bridge School Collection Vol 2
Album Review

The Bridge School Benefit is an annual non-profit charity concert held in Mountain View, California. The concerts are all organized by musician Neil Young and his wife Pegi, with proceeds going to benefit the Bridge School, which assists mentally and physically handicapped children. It is known for having a high-profile lineup and strong performances, as a result of Neil Young's connection within the industry.

This double CD features an amazing line-up - Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Tom Waits, Elton John, Crosby Stills Nash and Young and Tom Petty, among others. As such, it will clearly be of interest to completists, but taken as a whole, the album is a great collection of music - mostly acoustic. So, do a pick-n-mix on iTunes or find it in a record store - it is worth it either way.

Rating 8/10
