A Song for My Father features the sons and daughters of famous artists paying tribute to their parents with covers of their songs. Some of the highlights are Carlos Santana’s son Salvador covering Evil Ways, James Taylor’s son Ben performing Bartender’s Blues and Leonard Cohen’s son Adam’s rendition of Bird on a Wire. The album also features the children of Jim Croce, Bob Marley, Aaron Neville, John Phillips, Arlo Gutherie, Robin Gibb, Gregg Allman and Harry Chapin. “We grew up with our dad’s music,” says Matthew Nelson, who covers his dad Ricky Nelson’s Travelin’ Man with his brother Gunnar Nelson. “He passed away in 1986. We were best friends.”
