A tribute album to the late Neal Casal has been announced. It features 41 covers performed by 100+ musicians, including contributions from J Mascis, Cass McCombs, members of the Grateful Dead, Hiss Golden Messenger, Susan Tedeschi & Derek Trucks, Shooter Jennings, Fruit Bats, and many more.

The compilation, which is called Highway Butterfly: The Songs Of Neal Casal, was organized by Casal’s friend and longtime manager Gary Waldman and produced by Dave Schools and Jim Scott. “As soon as word got out about the project, the wheels started rolling fast,” Schools said in a press release. “People were calling us up, friends of Neal’s, other artists who had only brushed up against him, and saying they wanted to be part of it. We had intended to have it be around 18 songs, but it just kept exploding.”

Proceeds from the compilation will go to the Neal Casal Music Foundation, a non-profit set up last year to provide musical instruments and lessons to students in New Jersey and New York. Today, you can hear Beachwood Sparks and GospelbeacH’s cover of “You Don’t See My Crying” and watch a trailer for the album below.
