Covers for Sunday

As usual, it's Sunday and there are six covers for you to listen to. There are some familiar artists, another cover by Radiohead and one by The Morning Benders who were included a couple of weeks ago. Peter Mulvey's solo work is here for the first time, but we've had a couple of songs from his band Redbird in Covers for Sunday before.

Overall I think it's a nice eclectic mix. Of the bands we haven't featured before the last two minutes of The Bad Plus' version of Life on Mars is just sheer gorgeousness, Carolina Chocolate Drops cover of Hit 'Em Up Style is fantastic and The Section Quartet's take on Paranoid Android is as good as you'd expect. No suprises there. Sorry.

  1. Now that's what I call an eclectic set of covers.

    Something for everyone indeed.
