I Can’t Wait in Line: A Tribute to Michael Knott Volume 0

The unofficial Volume 0 is an ever-evolving volume of tribute and cover songs from those that either didn’t make the cut-off date for the official albums, or that released their songs elsewhere and did not submit them for the tribute. Volume 2 was more focused on the artists with professional recording experience (with the exception of a few that submitted two songs that were included on both compilations). Volume 1 was designated as a collection of the more independent artists.

Submissions for Volume 3 are being accepted now.
