Covers # 17 The Lemonheads



From Varshons, The Lemonheads album of covers released in 2009. He, (well it's generally mainly Evan Dando, isn't it?), does a varied list of songs - Gram Parsons, G.G. Allin, Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt and Christina Aguilera among other things. Not all of it works. Some of the songs don't seem to sit comfortably with his own strong persona, the generating source of many of his own best songs and left me a little nonplussed..But this, a cover of one of the more orthodox songs from Wire's first album Pink Flag does. He gives it a great American twang. Beautifully short.
