Nicely done! Obviously there have been a lot of those sorts of productions through the pandemic, but this was well performed and recorded (not to mention a good song).

The folk-rock duo Shovels & Rope (Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst) recruited Sharon Van Etten to join them to record a cover of "In My Room" for the former's upcoming covers album, Busted Jukebox Vol. 3.
It sounds a little like a toned-down Velvet Underground "Waiting For The Man" married to the original. The results are ... well, the results are found here. You can judge for yourselves.

Do we honestly not have a thread for this? I perused the General Discussion thread and didn't see one.
Last night while listening to NPR's "Fresh Air" and what should I hear between segments but this.
Of course, they don't say who the little interstitial musical segments are by, so this morning I dug around a bit to find out it was Brad Mehldau. It dates from 2018. While I had heard of Mehldau, I had no idea this existed.
Amusing note, AllMusic says this of the song: they "offer up a bright, waltz-like take on the Beach Boys' "Friends," the latter of which is so friendly you can almost sense Mehldau and his bandmates smiling at each other."
1. That's sweet. 2. A "waltz-like take" on "Friends?" As opposed to the original, which was ... also a waltz?
Love this!!! I think my favorite cover has to be "Farmer's Daughter" - Fleetwood Mac!

I've got to admit, I've never been a fan either of that song in particular, or of Fleetwood Mac. But it's both cool that they did that, and a good rendition. Sweet vocals.

Have you asked Adam about being on your show? He has produced David Marks, played with Al Jardine, did the tour of Dennis/Carl with Alan Boyd...I think he'd probably be a great guest.

Hearing "Here Today" as a solo acoustic number is pretty interesting. I guess because it's such a massive production on Pet Sounds. Anyway, it's a solid cover. Stick around for the humorous ending, and try not to tap along during the instrumental break (good luck!).

Los Lobos did a cover of "Sail On, Sailor" for their upcoming album. It's a very straight-ahead version, and very well done. I should note that I saw someone mention on Twitter that they just learned VDP was "the primary composer" on this song, and VDP responded something like "finally!" Primary composer?

It was Adam M in his latest Pet Squares who alerted me to this French version (recast as "I don't have the time") of "No-Go Showboat". Petula Clark has a recording history of over 60 years, having made her first single in 1949. I remember deejay Pete Murray blithely announcing a performance by Ms Clark on TOTP in the '60s as "Now here's someone who was making hit records before many of you were born!" Oh if looks could kill... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petula_Clark

I posted this on the EH board several months ago and I still have no idea as to who did this. A YouTube search as well as a general online search has yielded nothing. I don't believe it was an unknown local band or anything like that. I'm reposting this here hoping someone here might have an answer (I know there's an answer!!! ) Ok, somebody help me out here. I just heard a cover of IN MY ROOM on my car radio, and I have no clue as to who it is. I don't know how new it is since it was on a station that plays unusual old and new tunes (it's a local station called KJIV...k-jive).
It is primarily female vocals (or multi tracked vocal) and anything but acoustic. In other words, kind of upbeat, sounded like electronic synth instrumentation, almost danceable. I looked on YouTube, but couldn't find anything even close.
Anyone familiar with this? It's pretty catchy!
