From Jealous Butcher Records comes a rather incredible new collection of covers by a slew of indie artists including M. Ward, The Long Winters and Loch Lomond. The compilation entitled From The Land of Ice And Snow: The Songs of Led Zeppelin took several years to record and part of the proceeds will be going to support First Octave, a music education-based organization that believes that consistent music education fosters creative as well as intellectual values and is essential to a balanced core curriculum in schools. Pre-order the album out on October 10th here.

The label tells the story of how the collection came to be on their site:

“Rob (Jealous Butcher), Matt (Ward) and John (King) were sitting around the basement in the evening working on cover art for a project, espousing their love and respect for Led Zeppelin in their formative musical years. And wouldn’t it be nice to put together a tribute release featuring friends both near and afar, not being a “who’s who” sort of tribute, but rather a “community” inspired collection of Zeppelin songs.”

Read the full story and check out a track listing after the jump…

“One thing led to another and before he knew it, Rob was sending out a missive through his network, calling for submissions, wondering if anyone would even be interested. At the outset there was no real concern for pedigree, or professionalism, in the traditional manner, the only stipulation was that the tracks had to be good.”

“Fast-forward 6 years, 50 tracks, countless hours of recording, tracking, editing, mastering, talking, drinking, and thinking about all things Led Zeppelin. We now present you, dear reader, with the body of work. From The Land Of Ice And Snow: The Songs Of Led Zeppelin.”
