It starts with Magnetic Fields’ “Fear of Trains,” a heartbreaking ballad of a native America woman abused by the system. A powerful opening to a fantastic, roots Americana album. Then, it’s ideal into a much a lot more recognizable cover: Busted.
Kilonova is ten covers–here’s what Whitmore himself has to state about it: “This collection is something I’ve been wanting to put forth for a long time. A handful of these tunes I’ve been performing in my online sets for years, as well as it just felt ideal to provide them a bit home. A location where my interpretations can online as well as ideally be enjoyed. I keep in mind as a youngster hearing Johnny money cover Harlan Howard’s “Busted” on online at Folsom Prison. soon after that I ended up being familiar with Ray Charles’ version, as well as it was a revelation that a excellent tune can be played in lots of different ways. seems evident now, however as a ten year old it was assisting to shape my method of believing of music. As a thing to be passed around as well as shared. I utilized to like when I’d hear Willie Nelson play “Georgia on my Mind” by Ray Charles.”
Highly recommended.
