the survivors and families of victims of last year's I-35W Bridge collapse
disaster in Minneapolis. The compilation was just released to retail

Explaining his participation in the project, Lynne says, "Every time
you see a tragedy on TV you think 'Oh my gosh, those poor people.' But when
it's in your backyard there's a whole different feel to it. I was
completely moved by the whole thing, and proud to be a part of the benefit
CD."
Rockie Lynne records for the independent label Robbins Nashville. His
new single, "I Can't Believe It's Me," is currently climbing the charts.
He first made a name for himself when he released his critically
acclaimed debut CD on Universal Records in 2006. Lynne was named a
"breakout artist" by ABC-TV's "Good Morning America" and Billboard magazine
named him their artist "Most Likely To Succeed." He has made countless
media appearances, including performances on GMA's "Summer Concert Series,"
CMT, GAC, Fox News and more than a dozen appearances on the Grand Ole Opry.
