MINNEAPOLIS, March 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Country star Rockie Lynne has
contributed the leadoff track to a new compilation CD that raises money for
the survivors and families of victims of last year's I-35W Bridge collapse
disaster in Minneapolis. The compilation was just released to retail outlets

BoschNorth America LLC.
The three-CD compilation, featuring a diverse array of national artists,
is titled "Musicians for Minneapolis: 57 Songs for the I-35W Bridge Disaster

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.
