Also U2 on the Shane MacGowan tribute album

After Springsteen’s cover of The Pogues’ “A rainy night in Soho” and the Johnny Depp-Imelda May duet, new details arrive on “20th Century Paddy – The Songs of Shane MacGowan”, a tribute album out on November 13th. And U2 are also added to the list of names already announced – Dropkick Murphys, Glen Hansard, Hozier, Primal Scream and Tom Waits, with a cover of “Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah”, a 1988 single by the Pogues. The tracklist of the album has been revealed, 36 songs.

For U2, the song will shortly follow the release of their new studio album, expected between the end of September and the beginning of October

The title of the album is inspired by Shane “20th Century Paddy” was an album he had always wanted to make himself, as the notes explain. The album – edited by Victoria Mary Clarke, wife of Shane McGowan – will also include a 56-page book with memorabilia and liner notes.

This is the lyric video for “A rainy night in Soho”. “Every now and then, really every now and then, comes an artist whose voice seems to speak to history itself. Shane’s voice was so profoundly real, profane and honest, his writing so luminous and alive and rich in history that his origin was a mystery to everyone, including, I believe, his own creator,” says Springsteen. “Shane’s voice was so profoundly real, profane and honest, his writing so luminous, alive and rich in history that his origin seemed a mystery to everyone, including, I believe, his own creator.”
