  Nashville (Tennessee), USA - via PRNewswire - Intersound Records,
in conjunction with Crazy Baby Records, has announced the August 22, 2006
release of the world music album Voyces United for UNHCR, a compilation which
will provide funds and additional public support for The United States

The album, four years in planning and development, was compiled by Crazy
Baby Records and its President/Artist Joalby. Already released in Eastern Europe

royalties to USA FOR UNHCR, as is the Licensor of the tracks, Crazy Baby
