Who knew a duet between a young girl and her killer could be so romantic? A little less so when shouted perhaps, but the bat-out-of-hell guitar in the background keeps the mantra “All beauty must die” as chilling as ever.
Maleficent – Where the Wild Roses Grow (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) You might think the music Grateful Dead would be a poor fit, but after listening to Might As Well…The Persuasions Sing the Grateful Dead you’ll never hear the songs the same away again. The Persuasions record for the Frankly A Cappella label, but that genre designation does not do justice to the deep gospel and soul flowing through their rich vocal arrangements. The Persuasions – It Must Have Been the Roses (Grateful Dead) This instrumental recording may be more obscure, but it’s no less haunting. Last year Robert Plant and Alison Krauss brought this 2004 Tom Waits song to a vast audience on their Grammy-winning Raising Sand. Baez opened with this when I saw her live a few years back, a few months before the album came out. Joan Baez – Rose of Sharon (Eliza Gilkyson)įor decades Baez’s voice was a love-it-or-hate-it-instrument, but in her latter years that glass-shattering soprano has softened to a point that anyone would be moved. “Just playin’,” huh? I’m not sure you are… André 3000 and Big Boi goof on golden calculators, support bras and boo-boo, yet it all takes an uncomfortable turn with that disturbingly detailed death fantasy.
One of the strangest pop hits of the last decade. It’s hard to imagine any record executive extracted the intended message from the dense imagery though. Joni called this song her “first farewell to show business,” taking a leave of absence after putting out her 1972 album of the same name. Ĭassandra Wilson – For the Roses (Joni Mitchell) Covers of Elliott Smith songs are unusual in one regard: they tend to be better the less they change. I remember hearing the first notes of “Speed Trials,” the first track off Either/Or, and realizing I had some catching up to do. You don’t forget the first time you hear Elliott Smith. Sexton Blake – Rose Parade (Elliott Smith) I think this is why no one ever gives me roses. No, I never quite saw the romance in a present that will make you bleed if you hold it the wrong way. Valentine’s Day is around the corner and roses are selling like a product that actually has some practical value. Send your cover to the address on the right for inclusion!

The Twilight Singers cover “When Doves Cry.” Get it now before the Purple One’s lawyers attack. But it does need collaborations by members of Wilco, Sonic Youth and Jim O’Rourke. The world does not need a Burt Bacharach covers album. Justin Bieber and Barbra Streisand, together at last! Ugh. The new version of “We Are the World” debuts. However, “The End of the World” is definitely a Skeeter Davis cover. Many people turned onto the debut by blog darlings Girls were disappointed that “Lust for Life” wasn’t an Iggy Pop cover.
