There are certain songs that you just don't cover unless you're going to really nail it. James Blake's "Retrograde" is one of those songs. It's flawless, and even halfway through 2013 it's already guaranteed to end up close to the top of a lot of end-of-year lists. British soul singer Alice Russell made a bold [...]

Estas vez es el turno de una de las rubias más bellas del indie folk: este es el cover de Laura Marling de Bruce Springsteen. La artista, que formó parte de [...]
Two schoolboys, Jack Duff and Cormac Connell, from Navan, County Meath, Ireland impressed the judges on Wednesday night's episode of Britain's Got Talent with their cover of "Little Talks" by Of Monsters & Men.
When Houndmouth rolled through Lexington a couple weeks ago they did this amazing John Prine/Jerry Jeff Walker one-two cover combo. I happened to remember it today and was lucky enough to find a great recording of it on youtube. This makes me look forward to both the next time I can see them live and [...]

FOLLOWING last week's iconic album cover version - which was Nevermind by Nirvana, if you didn't guess it - my young helper is enjoying 15 minutes of fame.

The answer, and another album artwork, will be posted next Friday.

La banda también tocó " Tro To Explain ", una de las piezas de su más reciente disco, The Terror . No obstante, [...]
On the heels of the cover song from yesterday, I bring you even more options to hear musicians perform other musicians intellectual property. This time it is full album cover project for The Postal Service's album ' Give Up ' for it's 10 year anniversary. A pretty influential album at the time and almost defined a new wave of 'indie' in music. Many may deny it's importance or downplay the effect this album on today's music (if asked today), but you know they still don't even fully believe themselves. There are two sides to this digital offering with [...]

LA's Superhumanoids are releasing their new album Exhibitionists on June 11th via Innovative Leisure, but that didn't stop them from taking the time to record a dreamy cover of the Nine Inch Nails helter-skelter classic "March of the Pigs" from the 1994 album The Downward Spiral . The trio smooths out the abrasive of the original to almost make you forget about the political nature of the lyrics and turning it into a completely different song. Check it out below.

This month, we've assembled a playlist of some of of our favorite discoveries from the past year, including Albert Hammond, Jr. of The Strokes taking on the Big Star power-pop classic "Thirteen;" The Dandy Warhols' ...
We are not new to Fort Frances and we are not new to Fort Frances covering songs (see their J. Tillman cover-song here ) and once again good things have come from the effort. David McMillin sent me an email with this cover of the Ryan Adam's song " New York, New York " and he indicated his love for the city of which the song laments. In fact the boys of Fort Frances are hitting up New York this weekend (see what is happening here?) and playing the [...]

This is the first installment of Cover Up!, something we hope will become a regular feature here at TWJ, where we examine covers that - albeit debatably - surpass the original. The first album I ever bought, consciously thinking it was an Important Album, was Peter Gabriel’s Us (1992). It was also the second [...]

Well, this is a first. The wonderful, and down-right badass, Kendra Morris has only gone and made us an actual Birthday card. The lovely and talented Kendra often puts together collages and she was good enough to do one for us, all in honour of our third birthday. Which is a lovely way to end an overwhelming day. Kendra, who has been called ' a modern day Janis Joplin ', releases a new covers album, Mockingbird, at the end of July, which is the follow-up to her Banshee LP - [...]
