I named The Secret Sisters cover of Johnny Cash "Big River" as one of my favorite tracks of 2010 with good reason. This. is. an. amazing. cover.

The Secret Sisters - Big River I'm usually a bit more precise with my lists (see our 2010 lists ) but this one has become a mish-mash of things I've found on [...]
Here is a pretty funny video featuring a few SNL cast members. This one is a wonderful cover of The National's "Mistaken For Strangers"
This installment in our Covers Project series is a two-fer. St. Vincent joined up with The National to cover Crooked Fingers ' "Sleep All Summer" for Merge Records ' 20th Anniversary compilation.

Annie Clark (Miss St. Vincent) returned the favor recently when she performed a re-imagined version of The National's "Mistaken for Strangers" for Brooklyn Vegan [...]

A solo, ethereal take on one of The National's best songs by past tourmate St. Vincent, live at the Brooklyn Vegan Haiti Benefit in New York on January 23. Just gorgeous.
