The album is apparently scheduled for release later this year, but a single from the album was just released, an absolutely wonderful cover of Donny Hathaway's The Ghetto by one of the legends

George Benson's 1999 (released 2000) album Absolute Benson (GRP/Verve) has this fabulous version of The Ghetto...

Satisfied Mind was written in 1948, and has been done by lots of people. Porter Wagoner recorded it first I think. I think this is the best version over those by Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, the Byrds, Bob Dylan, Darryl Scott and others. This one is from Jeff Buckley.

Nirvana cover of David Bowie's "Man who sold the world". One of a few good covers during that Unplugged concert. Curt Cobain would be dead of suicide less than 5 months later.
