Desde Brooklyn, Dawn Landes nos trae "Young girl" , tema de su disco "Sweet Heart Rodeo" , que moviénsdose entre los códigos del indi y el folk, esta vez llega en versión full vaquera. "Young girl" (nombre que parece parodiar al hit de Peter Bjorn And John, "Young folks" y que de paso nos recuerda al dulce cover que se le ocurrió hacer para ese tema) nos ofrece una canción pegajosa y un video repleto de botas vaqueras, camisas con flequillos y sombreros listos para agitar al son del country.

We've been wanting to feature Dawn Landes for sometime now and though her Black Cab Session was more than ample entertainment to include in this very feature, we instead chose a rather left-wing choice that we couldn't resist sharing with you. Up and coming in the biggest and best way possible, Dawn Landes has written and released three records in her seven year musical life-span and only now has the much deserved recognition and acclaim started pouring in.
Met een hele bak ouwe mannen :)

When she's not in the studio recording and engineering records for Ryan Adams, Hem, Phillip Glass and Joseph Arthur, singer-songwriter Dawn Landes is making her own music as a solo artist. Originally from Louisville & now based in Brooklyn, word of Landes's work spread when she and the "We Sorta Tried Bluegrass Band" recorded a blugrass version of Peter, Bjorn & John's "Young Folks" in Texas in a house/studio and put the performance of it up on youtube (see below). Dawn's new album Fireproof is a [...]
Above is an amazing cover Dawn Landes does of Peter Bjorn & John's Young Folks. Dawn comes to Headliners this Friday. I'm really excited for this show. Tonight is the last chance to win tickets to the show & all you have to do is leave a comment HERE. It really gets [...]
You will probably recognize Dawn Landes from her cover of PB&J's "Young Folks" With a nice, light, banjo line running through the song, just barely getting pushed out by the drums in the chorus, "Bodyguard" can get into your head a little bit. It's also nice to hear a singer that sounds a little different than feist for a change. Actually nevermind.. she sounds a lot like Feist, but the added [...]

Louisville, KY native Dawn Landes will break out her new record Fireproof on March 4, in the US on Cooking Vinyl. Check out the airy sounds of "Bodyguard," which droops into seemingly narcotic ramblings, as quickly as it rears its melodic head. The song was written following the burglary of Dawn's Brooklyn apartment, where her laptop with complete album number two was stolen, and lost forever. I've included Dawn's much loved, down home take on Peter Bjorn & John's hit "Young Folks." Dawn is also touring with Jason Isbell. audio: Bodyguard.mp3 [...]

Via Aurgasm . This cover is fantastic, but I don't enjoy her originals nearly as much.
Last night my friend Joe W. was kind enough to send me a link to a beautiful bluegrass rendition of Peter, Bjorn & John's great song "Young Folks" done by Dawn Landes . Dawn is a Kentuckian living in New York City who is a recording engineer by day, but moonlights as a singer-songwriter, supporting such acts as Hem, Feist and Andrew Bird. Her rendition of "Young Folks" feels perfect, as if the song was designed to be played as such. If you haven't heard the original, you really should check it [...]

This post goes out to brother Lexi who's been injured in battle and has a nasty eye injury. Mainly I just want him to know that I will still love him even if he has an eye patch. So without further ado: It doesn't get any more real than too short. If you disagree your gonna get a slap. Beyatch. Lexi put me on to this one. Too Short - Way Too Real Camera Obscura of Scottland, one of my favourites. Sounds like 1950's prom [...]

Cover van een van de mooiste poliedjes ooit. Ja, dat vind ik echt!

I've never been one to shy away from banjos , so after becoming informed of Dawn Landes ' cover of Peter, Bjorn & John 's "Young Folks" I was rightly impressed. Though not something typically covered on this site, that being bluegrass, to this day I find it to be a thorn in the side of music that it takes something like O Brother Where Art Thou to revive a scene...but if it weren't for the movie there would be far less people caring about this segment of Americana. Please take a listen [...]
"You might have heard about this, you might have already seen it, you may have no idea what I'm talking about, but below is a link to the video of Dawn Landes' bluegrass cover of Peter Bjorn & John's "Young Folks." Dawn recorded the song with WST (We Sorta Tried) Bluegrass Band from Austin, TX and it's been making it's way across the internet for a few weeks now. Kind of ironic as, apparently, the youngest "folk" in WST is 67. Who is Dawn Landes? Well, she came from Kentucky [...]
