Indie rock disc inspired by Kerouac novel

Several indie rockers have collaborated on a disc that pays tribute to a Jack Kerouac novel. The album, which features artists like The Low Anthem, William Fitzsimmons, Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth and Tony Dekker of The Great Lake Swimmers, is based on Kerouac's novel "Tristessa," about a drug-addicted Mexican prostitute. The disc, released this week by the Boston-area firm Reimagine Music, features 19 singer-songwriters and is named "Esperanza: Songs From Jack Kerouac's Tristessa."
