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.”
