5 favorite covers of 2009
my top 20 songs of the year list is coming soon along with commentary, but until then here are 5 of my favorite covers from the past year. All 5 of these are tracks that work as more than just a one-off novelty, worthy of repeated listens:
- Bon Iver - “Mercury” [Kathleen Edwards cover]
- Bat for Lashes - “Use Somebody” [Kings of Leon cover]
- Laura Marling - “Roll Away Your Stone” [Mumford & Sons cover]
- Solange - “Stillness Is the Move” [Dirty Projectors cover]
- Lady Gaga - “Viva La Vida” [Coldplay cover]
