This is the first volume – there was a volume two in 2021. Great collection of musicians here covering one of my favorite songwriters:
- “Bruised Orange (Chain of Sorrow)” – Justin Vernon
- “Wedding Day in Funeralville” – Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band
- “All the Best”- My Morning Jacket
- “Mexican Home” – Josh Ritter
- “Six O’Clock News”- Lambchop
- “Far From Me”- Justin Townes Earle
- “Spanish Pipedream” – The Avett Brothers
- “Angel from Montgomery” – Old Crow Medicine Show
- “The Late John Garfield Blues” – Sara Watkins
- “Daddy’s Little Pumpkin” – Drive-By Truckers
- “Unwed Fathers”- Liz Isenberg/Deer Tick
- “Let’s Talk Dirty in Hawaiian” – Those Darlins
Most successful I think are the “Unwed Fathers,” “Far From Me,” and “Let’s Talk Dirty in Hawaiian” – I enjoy the “Angel From Mongtomery” but it is hard to hear that as anything but a Bonnie Raitt song at this point.
My copy—direct from Oh Boy Records—is a United pressing on black vinyl.
