You Can’t Live on Love Alone: Songs for the Fight Against Multiple Myeloma

This album, lovingly compiled by the staff of the entertainment site Popdose.com and its friends, benefits Americana radio promoter and publicist Pigeon O'Brien in her fight against this blood cancer. Many artists came together for the cause. The compilation includes a rare demo track from Del Amitri's Just Currie (the title track), an innovative Journey cover by Scout (who guested on The Sopranos as the fictional band The Miami Relatives), a song from soap star Roscoe Born, an unreleased live track from Kenny Loggins's Blue Sky Riders and more.
