> Lyrical master William Butler Yeats will be the focal point of a tribute album. The U.K. label Grapevine has issued the compilation album Now And In Time To Be - A Musical Celebration of the Works of W.B. Yeats, which features works by musicians who have incorporated Yeats' poems into their music.

Although many of the artists performing here - including the Cranberries, Shane Macgowan, and World Party - are best known for their musical accomplishments, one of the participants is not; an early spoken word recording from the poet himself. More information will be provided in a future review in Consumable.
