This compilation is for all the Moms (and Dads) that have been lost to cancer. All proceeds from this compilation go to the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
The original idea for this comp last year was to find a way to honor my mom who passed from cancer and see if I could get some musicians to cover a song their mom would like and raise some money for charity along the way. Turned out that a lot of people were also looking for a way to remember someone they've lost to cancer. It was a truly incredible experience hearing from so many people how much Volume 1 meant to them and seeing how far it spread thanks to all the donations and shares.
So this year we're back with Volume 2! A whole new crop of covers of songs that moms might like. I'm very proud of how this turned out and I hope all of you are too. Just like last year there's a mix of artists you'll know and some you're hearing for the first time. Some artists from last year are even back too. I really, really love this album. It's so special to me to have been able to do this twice and play a part in the fight against cancer.
In an effort to make things a little bigger this year and hopefully raise even more for charity, Beautiful Rat Records are also releasing Songs For Dads on June 19. You can check that out here:

Once again we're releasing on June 19 in honor of my mom, Terrye, who passed 6 years ago today. I hope some day that people won't have to say goodbye to their mom or dad like so many people have.
And if you missed it last year, you can find Songs For Moms volume 1 here:

Thanks so much for your support in the fight against cancer!
