Master-Mix-608x451

Last week The Red Hot Organization released it’s long-awaited tribute album to cellist and composer Arthur Russell who passed in 1992 at a young age.  Entitled Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell, the release is another in a string of successful compilation albums from this organization (including the fantastic Dark Was The Night).  Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell contains emotion-appropriate covers of Russell’s songs, such as the heart-tugging, electro-fied take by Sufjan Stevens on the sweet song A Little Lost.   Check it out below, along with other great covers of Russell’s songs by the likes of Jose Gonzalez, Glen Hansard, Phosphorescent, Blood Orange and Richard Reed Parry, Little Scream, Sam Amidon, Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld, the latter ensemble covering the just-released Keeping Up.  We love ’em all, but for us Stevens’ and the just-released Keeping Up are really sticking with us in the wee small hours.  Go out and support this great effort and cause by picking up the treasure trove that is Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell HERE.
