Watch Elvis Costello and Mumford & Sons cover Bruce Springsteen for a good cause 

With the G8 summit approaching, Elvis Costello and Mumford & Sons came together at last month's Sasquatch Festival to raise awareness via agit8, a series of protest songs meant to push for One Campaign's anti-poverty initiative. They chose to cover Bruce Springsteen's "The Ghost of Tom Joad." Not to be outdone by…well, themselves, they sprinkled a bit of Woodie Guthrie's "Do Re Mi" in the middle, creating a truly lovely experience.
