This month marks the 50th anniversary of Todd Rundgren's classic "Something/Anything?" LP. While he took issue at the time with being labeled as a "male Carole King," Rundgren's double-album was released at the acme of the singer-songwriter era. With Rundgren's deeply penetrating songs of love and desperation, "Something/Anything?" is one of popular music's most enduring masterworks.
To commemorate the occasion, producer Fernando Perdomo has brought together a host of top-flight musicians in celebration of the album's golden anniversary with a new tribute called "Someone/Anyone?". In 2021, Perdomo assembled a similar collection to mark the original release of Paul and Linda McCartney's "Ram." In a particularly fitting move, the profits from the "Something/Anything?" tribute will be donated to Rundgren's charity Spirit of Harmony, which advocates for music in schools, especially music performance for youth.
