Album Review
Jay Brannan dives into his iPod collection with In Living Cover, a collection of cover songs and original material. The two original tunes featured here — "Beautifully" and "Drowning" — take their cues from the Lilith Fair school of songwriting, mixing bookish lyrics with bursts of acoustic guitar. The effect is reinforced by Brannan's voice, a somewhat androgynous tenor whose range and tone serve him well on the covers, too. Joni Mitchell, Ani DiFranco, and the Cranberries all serve as source material for Brannan's six cover songs, and he pays tribute to those artists with soft, acoustic renditions of their hits. When he ditches the acoustic guitar and performs DiFranco's "Both Hands" with an a cappella arrangement, the result is striking, due in no small part to his imaginative reinterpretation of the original.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic cover album
You wouldn't think that covers could be so interesting, but Jay has a great spin on these songs and he really makes them his own. Plus, "Beautifully"(his own song) is awesome - it's one of my current favorite songs.
Amazing.
Phenomenal album! Jay is an amazing singer and the versions of songs he performs here are beautiful. His original song "Beautifully" has fast become one of my favorites.
Jay Brannan == LOVE
This man is amazing. Whether he's performing his own songs, or covering someone else's, he always has something to give. Not only does he make the songs his own, but in most cases his version is better than the original (sorry other artists, I just have my preferences). I was going to list off my favorites from this album, but I love all of them.
I say check out "Beautifully", "Zombie", "Both Hands", "Drowning", and "Say It's Possible". (Or just listen to them all and be amazed).
