Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Stony Plain records has scheduled a February 8th release for Amour by acclaimed guitarists Colin Linden & Luther Dickinson with The Tennessee Valentines. Dickinson teams up with Linden on this ten track collection of lovingly crafted covers near and dear to the hearts of the players and, likely, plenty of listeners.

Adele, Pearl Jam, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, Kris Kristofferson, Torres, and more contribute to Cover Stories, a new tribute album to singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile, Rolling Stone reports. Barack Obama wrote the LP’s foreword—read a statement from him below. The album, which will benefit War Child UK, comprises covers of songs from Carlile’s 2007 album The Story. Scroll down to hear Dolly Parton’s take on the title track. Most of the songs were recorded last year, one exception being Adele’s take on “Hiding My Heart,” which came out as a bonus track in 2011 and inspired the release.
