Prije nekog vremena najavljen je tribute album s pjesmama Boba Dylana u čast 50. godina postojanja Amnesty Internationala. Očekivalo se šaroliko društvo izvođača, no 4 diska sa 72 pjesme i “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” u izvedbi Ke$he – ipak ne.
“Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International” puni je naslov albuma koji donosi nove obrade Dylanovih pjesama stilski i generacijski različitih izvođača. Među njima su oni više-manje očekivani poput Patti Smith, Stinga, Bryana Ferrya, Peetea Seegera, te oni manje očekivani poput, primjerice, Miley Cyrus.
Izvođači koji nisu ‘upali’ na ovo izdanje (premda ih se s njime povezivalo) su Rosanne Cash, Larry Campbell, Alison Krauss, The Roots i Bruce Springsteen.
Album je u fizičkom i digitalnom obliku dostupan od 24. siječnja na području Sjeverne Amerike, a od 30. siječnja i u ostatku svijeta. Prema nekim izvorima, cijena jednog CD-a iznosit će 25 dolara za fizičku, te 20 dolara za digitalnu verziju. Sav prihod namijenjen je Amnesty Internationalu.
Amnesty International osnovan je 1962. godine, a iste je te godine Bob Dylan objavio prvijenac.
