"War Child: Heroes" is the ultimate covers album: an unprecedented coming together of music's greatest ever legends and today's best artists to support a great cause. The album concept sees the biggest heroes in music history select a personal favourite track from their own back catalogue, and nominate an act from the next generation to create a modern reworking of that classic song. The 15 legends supporting the projects - including Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, U2, Stevie Wonder and David Bowie - have combined global album sales of over 1.4bn The new acts they have chosen to cover the classic tracks include the UK's biggest selling album artist of 2008, Duffy; the current Mercury prize winners, Elbow; and the act behind the most critically acclaimed album of 2008, TV On The Radio. Some legends selected one of their all-time classic standards like Stevie Wonder's `Superstition', covered by Estelle, and Blondie's `Call Me', covered by Franz Ferdinand. Some selected favourite tracks that deserve to be rediscovered as in Scissor Sister's exhilarating version of Roxy Music's `Do The Strand' (not released as a single in the UK) and Lily Allen's stunning new take on The Clash's `Straight To Hell' (originally the b-side of `Should I Stay, Or Should I Go'). The album was recorded over six months in studios in London, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles. It was mastered at Abbey Road studios in London. "Heroes" is War Child's fifth album, dating back to 1995's legendary "Help" album. War Child's albums have won awards at the Brit Awards, as well as from Q and NME. The album is in support of the real heroes - children who live with the brutal affects of war.

Lily Allen翻唱Straight to Hell不知道是不是The Clash成员自己选的,眼光太好——她是00s最好的英式朋克反骨和伦敦牙买加风情的演绎者。
