A wide range of performers -- from Clint Eastwood to Jimmy Buffett to Emmylou Harris -- are part of a new tribute to the favorite son of Hannibal, Mo.

The CD, "Mark Twain: Words & Music," will be released Wednesday. It tells the story of Twain in spoken word and song, and features narration by Garrison Keillor. Eastwood is the voice of Twain. Buffett is the voice of Huckleberry Finn.

Hannibal's Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum is hosting a launch party for the CD Tuesday night, featuring a performance by Carl Jackson, who sings on the CD and produced it.

Many of the songs were penned just for the album. Singers include Harris, Ricky Skaggs, Brad Paisley, Joe Diffie, Vince Gill, Rhonda Vincent and Sheryl Crow.
