What are you listening to Part the Third


Voltron

Recommended Posts

Just discovered it today, myself.  Was searching for all versions of “Push the Sky Away” on Tidal and ran across two covers (in addition to the original and several live versions).  Loved it, listened to the rest of the album.  Love how they translated “Red Right Hand” to a lullaby.  The rest didn’t need as much work to make it less rocky.  Love how melodic the source material is, their versions really bring that out.

Now listening to Endless River because of a certain discussion on Facebook.
