Overcoat Recordings
gives us
this first time collaboration between Tortoise and Will Oldham featuring covers of such artists as Bruce Springsteen (Thunder Road), The Minutemen (It's Expected I'm Gone) Elton John and Bernie Taupin (Daniel), Lungfish (Love Is Love), Richard Thompson (Cavalry Cross), and more. The songs are almost unrecognizable to their original versions, yet each was chosen with care and reverence with no sense of irony. The record is undeniably both a Tortoise and a Bonnie 'Prince' Billy record, and yet altogether something completely new and exciting.
