Amnesty has such an amazing and consistent track record of speaking out and helping to illuminate courageous people who might otherwise not be heard from so the answer was "yes." It was decided to record some songs from my current tour for them to be sold as a download with the proceeds going to Amnesty. As there are no physical costs with digital distribution this means more of the sales percentage actually goes to where it's supposed to. So, thank you for supporting a great organization and I hope you like these recordings too.

Even with all this, Byrne still had time to release a Live EP in benefit for Amnesty International. The four-track album features the songs Strange Overtones, Help Me Somebody, One Fine Day, and I Feel My Stuff from the new album. In purchasing the album you also get an exclusive Digital booklet which features photos from his tour and David’s handwritten notes.

Some time ago Amnesty International asked if I might do "something" for that organization this year- (in previous years I had done one of my tour dates as a benefit for them).

I might only have cash.
