ISAAC BROCK - "I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE" (NORMAN WHITFIELD & BARRETT STRONG COVER)

The Modest Mouse frontman's menacing cover of the classic track made famous by Marvin Gaye is from the soundtrack to Claydream................................Not on Spotify or YouTube but well worth hearing.

 
The other track on the release. Even though I do not speak Swedidh this is another cracking track.

The Tallest Man On Earth - "För Sent för Edelweiss"

The Tallest Man on Earth (aka Swedish musician Kristian Matsson) has announced that he has signed to ANTI-. He has also shared a cover of Håkan Hellström’s 2008 song “För sent för Edelweiss.” Listen below.

In a press release, Matsson states: “‘För sent för Edelweiss’ has been my intro song since 2010. My walk-on music. It’s become this very special song in my life; when I heard that song come on for my first show back since the beginning of the pandemic, when we played Dalhalla in Sweden, I was in tears. That song brings special meaning to me. It will wake up my mind to full focus. Somehow the misery of breakup songs can be uplifting—a way to find connection. I have a lot of sad love songs like that of my own. Why do I feel like this song is a buddy? I don’t know. But it’s always been my favorite Håkan Hellström song.”


 
BONNIE 'PRINCE' BILLY FT DAVID BERMAN - "OUTSIDER" (RAMONES COVER).................not on Spotify

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy has a new single, a cover of Ramones' "Outsider." His rendition of the Dee Dee-penned song, from Ramones' 1983 album Subterranean Jungle, turns it into a wanderin', lonesome cowboy ballad. It was recorded back in 2016 and features the late David Berman, as well as William Tyler, Chris Scruggs and drummer Pete Townsend (not to be confused with The Who's Pete Townshend).

 
BUDDY GUY - "GUNSMOKE BLUES" (ft. JASON ISBELL)

Blues legend Buddy Guy will release his new album The Blues Don't Lie on September 30 via RCA, and it'll feature "Gunsmoke Blues," a powerful song about mass shootings that was made with Jason Isbell. "Still hard to believe I’m on a song with ⁦Buddy Guy,⁩ but here it is, out today," Jason wrote. "Can’t imagine a higher honor, and it’s a great song too."
