The album is an upcoming charity compilation album featuring Bob Dylan cover versions from such artists as, Rise Against, My Morning Jacket, Sting, Elvis Costello, Adele, Ke$ha, and more.

In order to listen to the free stream of Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International you have to be a member of Facebook, and you have to 'Like' Amnesty International’s Facebook fan page in order to unlock the stream.
You can either listen to the album straight through, or jump around from track to track. The album has a wide range of artists covering Bob Dylan songs, and some are a bit questionable, such as pop singer Ke$ha. Her cover of "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" is stripped down and raw. There is no autotune, and she actually does a lovely, and emotionally charged version of the song.
