From the Girls on January 13th, a fifteen-track compilation featuring unreleased live tracks from Macy Gray and Tori Amos, and songs from Sarah McLachlan, Avril Lavigne and Dido. A portion of proceeds from the album will go to benefit Oxygen Media's "Build Your Own Business" program, which since 2000 has helped provide women with funding and equipment to start their own businesses. The live tracks from Gray (who covers the Beatles' "Come Together") and Amos were recorded during Oxygen Custom Concerts, a series of shows that allow fans to vote in advance for the songs they would like artists to perform. Erin McKeown contributed the song "Slung-Lo" from this year's Grand. "Musicians have an awful lot in common with small business owners," says McKeown. "While we wear a creative face for the outside world, to succeed in the music business you've got to put in an enormous amount of effort behind the scenes and get your hands dirty to understand how it all works. The business world often seems like a gated community, a mysterious place where it's hard to get a foot in the door...I am proud to stand beside these other songwriters and offer our support for women starting businesses." The next Oxygen Custom Concert is scheduled for November 4th. Avril Lavigne and Sarah McLachlan will perform in New York City and the show will air on November 9th. Track list for Oh!
