A Morning Musical Surprise

  I am not a strong believer in cover-bands or covers in general.  Usually they drive me nuts due to the fact that the artist covering will either try to copy the original exactly or create some sort of way-out-there rendition.

  Why copy, the original is awesome and to try to mimic it should be something you do at home for yourself.

  This is a generalization but massively altered and downright changed covers usually appear to be an attempt at proving musical savvey.

That being said, surprises do show up every once in a while. For instance this morning I went looking for Sufjan Steven's Seven Swans artwork and stumbled across this.

  Seven Swans is an album that I hold in great esteem. It is solidly written and produced. To me it has a perfect blend of moody, joyful, out in the woods sentimentalities. One of those albums that if the suggestion had been made to cover, I would have scoffed at.

  I would have been wrong...
