Shovels & Rope-Cover Songs

I don't usually like cover songs. I feel that if you are going to do a cover of someone's song, you should make it 'your own'. I love that Shovels & Rope made each track unique and had so many great singers help them out.

My favorite track is 'Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain'. I heard this song when I asked my Amazon Alexa to shuffle songs by Shovels & Rope. I put the song on repeat and purchased the album without hearing any of the other songs and I picked up Busted Jukebox Volume 1, as well. I'm a fan of Shovels & Rope and was surprised that I hadn't heard of these albums.

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain, is a Willie Nelson song and this version, featuring John Moreland, is absolutely beautiful. My father, a Willie Nelson fan would have approved of this version. It's a song that makes it very hard to hold back the tears. If I'm being honest, I haven't been able to that, yet.

The most surprising track is Epic, a Faith No More song. It is so different from the original and I really like the different flow that Lera Lynn gave it. The song in it's cover form has given a slightly different meaning to the lyrics. The original was powerful and in your face while this version is powerful and haunting.

Other songs are originally by

I am so happy that I stumbled upon this and I can't wait to see what this amazing duo will bring us next!

Normally on albums that incorporate a revolving door of rap’s most well-known producers, like The Bigger Artist does, he result is a project without a clear identity, but A Boogie managed to avoid that

Rather silly and occasionally funny female take on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. 2 con artists try to out do each other before making a bet to see who the better con artist is. It's not as good as another female lead con artist film @Heartbreakers (2001)
So long as you don't expect too much you might enjoy it, but rather forgettable.
