I won't go into all the stuff I'm listening to but just a couple that took my ear...

Levon Helm, Dirt Farmer, 2007 on the Vanguard label.


Mark Kozelek, What's Next To The Moon, 2001 on Badman Recording Co.
For those not familiar; these are rearranged acoustic covers of Bon Scott, AC/DC songs to the point of you'll be forgiven not recognising the original song at all..

Mark Kozelek: Sounds similar to what Giant Sand did in relation to unrecognisable covers. I’ll let you name the album ;)

I think I have that record, you mean the one with a jazzy version of a Black Sabbath song?

Best

I've been trying to put my room back into some sort of order, CDs, cables, amps, speakers, books, all kinds of odds and ends, when I found this forgotten gem. I only have two of his albums, (to my shame), the other being "'till the sun turns black", so I put it in my little Philips CD player and sat back wondering why I hadn't listened to it more often. "Trouble" is 20, yes, twenty years old now. Produced by the brilliant Ethan Johns who also lends his multi-instrumentalist musicianship to what is a really wonderful album.
