Erin Rae – “Early Blue”

I’d be remiss not to mention this sweet cover that’s slipped out from Erin Rae. On her version of FJ McMahon’s “Early Blue,” Rae opens up the original’s private press pallor, but loses none of the song’s intimacy. With a chugging guitar Rae brings some bittersweet harmonies and heartache to this crate digger’s classic. The cut’s out now through streaming. The song seems to have snuck out without too much fanfare, just a fun one in the wind, but it’s well worth a little light.
