is she trying to out do the reatest for rubbish album covers?
are these more of bill callahans favourite songs she wants to ruin for him like the first one or was that just a rumor
hey
The first one had much more interesting songs on it ... yes sir.
As dullsville as The Greatest is,
I'm really looking forward to this. The Covers Record had so much soul - great selection of covers for this one too.
Even though
the 'Dirty Delta Blues Band' were apparently involved in the recording?
Lost Someone
Is quality.
What's with the cover tho?
I know,
will this woman just sort out her covers. Not that cover art is important anymore...
(Note, No reference to Hard Fi and this "album artwork is obsolete" notion..)
As much as I'm intrigued by this
I do not want to hear Metal Heart for fear of the experience blemishing the original.
And I was hoping for a Tom Waits cover.
Tom Waits
Yeah, that'd be right in her vocal range.
That Dylan song
might be corking, though.
