God Bless America (charity album)
''God Bless America'' was a 2001 charity album composed of American patriotic or spiritual songs, released on October 16 of that year in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It was released specifically to benefit the Twin Towers Fund, directing what the album cover said would be a "substantial portion of the proceeds" towards families of firefighters, police officers, and other responders lost in the rescue response to the September 11 attacks. The artists and recordings featured were largely from Columbia Records.
==History==
Following the September 11 attacks, Canadian pop star Celine Dion performed a new arrangement of "God Bless America"〔 on the telethon ''America: A Tribute to Heroes''. The recorded version of this, done the day before the telethon in the event something happened and Dion could not appear, became the title track of this compilation. It, along with a live acoustic performance by John Mellencamp, were the only tracks on the album not to have been previously released.
The selections ranged over many decades, with recordings being used going back to 1945.〔 The span of material was quite large; the album included "This Land Is Your Land", which Woody Guthrie had written in annoyed reaction to "God Bless America", as well as both the overtly patriotic "God Bless the USA" and the far different "Blowin' in the Wind".〔 Two live recordings are used, both performances in New York City.〔
