Long Past Due, with Heartbreak

Recognition of Mark Mulcahy's heartbreaking genius has finally arrived in the form of an all-star tribute. Unfortunately the circumstances include earth-shattering sadness.

Found on remhq:

An all-star cast, including Michael Stipe, has contributed songs to Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy, a compilation of the Miracle Legion front man's songs which serves simultaneously as a tribute to the songwriter (whose wife Melissa passed away recently, leaving him with three-year old twins) and a benefit. Ciao My Shining Star - The Songs of Mark Mulcahy, will be released on September 7th in the UK and September 29th in the USA.
